Checkering is flawless,bluing is beyond excellent however with the 26 " bbl & large action its a tad hefty !

Lots of history goes with the MK 14 action in its military or sporting config , think I'll hang on to this prize !



They were built after WW1 from "leftover" US M1917 pieces/parts. Never heard of an MK 14 action.


Pattern 14 not Mk 14 is what I was referencing ..

Correct. Pattern 14 and I'll submit NOT a 1917 if for one other reason the P-14s were in 303 British (a rimmed cartridge as in the 405) and the 17s were in 3006, meaning an entirely different feed rails, follower configuration.

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
