I found a P14, but they seem to call the other Model 17. I have a Model 17. Most call them a m1917, as the tread title entails... I did see how you titled it. I was being like a little [bleep]. Sorry

Southwind, Here are some pix of mine. The top is a work in progress. Its a Eddystone 30-06, that was my dads. The original stock was pretty badly fit. I found this one in the back corner of a gun shop, The guy gave it to me because he had no clue as to what kind of rifle it came off. When I told him what it was, He just gave it to me. Nice piece that needs to be refinished and checkered. nest down is my Late FIL's rifle. It is a Winchester, 300 Win Mag. Douglas BBL, Timney trigger, and a french Walnut stock that I picked up at a garage sale in Virginia for 10 bucks! That rifle has been all over the place! I made this for him early on ans he loved it! Third down is the 416 Rigby, on a Remington receiver, Timney trigger, Brownells "Butterball" bolt handle, #4 Douglas bbl, and a Turkish walnut stock that I made with just hand tools from a blank. I made this rifle for my final specialization project, while at CST. I got a 4.0! lol This rifle has been to Africa, and although he wanted another buffalo, he used it to kill a beautiful Gemsbok. The only animal killed with this rifle. Maybe Ill shoot a deer with it some day! The one on the bottom is a Winchester 300 Win Mag, Douglas bbl, sitting in an MPI fiberglass handle. I re barrelled this and used it for my fiberglass project while in school. I have killed a bunch of deer with it, but now, it pretty much sits in the safe, taking a back seat to the 280 rem and the 6.5 Creed. I'll get a scope on it and take it out next year, as its a tack driver and fun to shoot at distance.

Here is a suggestion for you spanky, say what you mean and don't be an annoying ankle bitter. You could have written "technically it is a US Model 1917, caliber .30" and been done with it but you chose to play a silly little game. Owned several, even one Winchester work over by Elmer Keith at the Ogden Armory. Won a bolt action service rifle match with that rifle. Search it junior So anyway junior if you have something to say spit it out and don't be shy.

Ain't shy Kid, but you are right. Mine must be a P17 as I call it my PUDDIN Rifle. That make you happy! Another one of my POS Enfields. It will become a 22 Hornet. I better put this on the Remington forum.

Well congratulations junior, next thing you know you might just stop communicating in riddles and get over your affliction. Baby steps, baby steps.....
That is some sweet PUDDIN though and 22 hornet would make it even sweeter.
