Offered here is a desirable World War I-era British Pattern 1914 Mk I Enfield bolt-action military rifle chambered in .303 British, serial number 65014, manufactured circa 1916 by the Remington Arms Company of Delaware at its Eddystone, Pennsylvania, facility. Produced under British military contract during the First World War, the Pattern 1914 is renowned for its robust Mauser-style action, excellent accuracy, and distinctive receiver-mounted aperture sight. This example features a 26-inch barrel, full-length military hardwood furniture, and the characteristic protective rear sight ears. Particularly noteworthy is the rifle's retention of its original long-range volley sight system, including the adjustable rear aperture and forearm-mounted sight, a desirable and increasingly uncommon feature frequently removed during subsequent military refurbishment programs. The bolt and receiver bear matching serial numbers, further enhancing the rifle's collector appeal. The bore retains defined rifling with light pitting present. The hardwood stock exhibits attractive grain and scattered handling marks consistent with age and use, although the wood appears to have been refinished at some point. The metal surfaces retain an attractive aged military finish with scattered handling wear and patina. The rifle is fitted with a Wright-marked 1912 sling and is accompanied by a Remington-marked, 1918-dated military bayonet with wooden grip panels and an olive-drab scabbard. The bayonet exhibits scattered discoloration and age-related wear, while the scabbard retains its characteristic military appearance. Combining early Eddystone production, matching bolt and receiver, surviving factory-pattern volley sights, and accompanying military accessories, this Pattern 1914 represents an appealing and well-appointed example of an important First World War British service rifle.
