Offered here is a desirable World War I-era British Pattern 1914 Mk I Enfield bolt-action military rifle chambered in .303 British, manufactured circa 1916 by the Remington Arms Company of Delaware at its Eddystone, Pennsylvania, facility. Serial number 144452. Manufactured under British military contract during the First World War, the Pattern 1914 is recognized for its exceptionally robust Mauser-style action, receiver-mounted aperture sight, and reputation for accuracy. This example features a 26-inch barrel, full-length military hardwood furniture, and the distinctive protective rear sight ears characteristic of the P14 design. Notably, the bolt is matching to the receiver, a desirable feature for collectors of British military rifles. The rifle retains an attractive Parkerized metal finish that appears to be an older military-applied finish, exhibiting scattered thinning and finish losses along high-contact areas and raised edges. The hardwood stock has been refinished and displays scattered handling marks and minor impressions, retaining an attractive overall appearance. The original long-range volley sights have been removed, a modification commonly associated with the British Weedon Repair Standard refurbishment program undertaken in preparation for Second World War service. The bore retains sharp, well-defined rifling, and the bolt action functions smoothly and properly. Presenting an attractive combination of World War I manufacture, matching bolt, and features consistent with later British military refurbishment, this Eddystone P14 represents an appealing example of one of the most respected bolt-action military rifle designs of the early twentieth century.
