P-14 Eddystone 1917

Loujitsu · 03-03-2008, 12:47 PM

My buddy has an old rifle that he took shooting and the stock cracked right behind bolt. We were trying to do some identification and came up with some questions...

This rifle is 30.06 with a sporter stock
The stamp reads
US model 1917 Eddystone 199753

I thought i read that the P-14 and this were pretty much the same? possibly be able to swap stocks?

thank you

If memory serves the stocks will interchange. That is fit either rifle, and no they are not the same the differences are mostly cosmetic.

The major difference is that the P-14 was chambered for the British .303 round, the 1917 for the U.S. 30-'06 round.

as the magazine wells are different due to the difference in the .303 vs the 30'06
