Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles BSA Commercial P-14 .303, info?

If any of you are wanting a very nice one in what looks like all original form here it is:

I talked to the guy and he says it is a shooter. It has the original front (with hood) and rear sights also. These are a little on the heavy side, but sure are sleepers.

I have had three of them, a 303, 30-06 and a 270. The 270 became my first 270 Wby. Had Bevan King do the work, and it turned out just fine.

They are nice rifles, but a bit heavy.

Do any of the BSA's have the "duck pond" on the rear bridge, like the Winchester and Eddystone 1917's? Did Pattern 14's have that?

Eventually, I'll find a BSA for my oldest son, as that is his initials. There are a few BSA bolt rifles, but I really want a single shot Martini for him.

I would think all P-14s have the duck pond,part of the way through the M-17 production it was shown the receiver woundn't warp during heat treatment without the duck pond.I changed the rear sight on my P-14 to a Parker-Hale and now get to look at the hole.
