| Difference between P14 and M17 Apart from the obvious bolt face and magazine dimensions, what are the other differences? Are the receiver rings and threads the same or different? How about sights? Have they been graduated for the different trajectories? I have an unchambered barrel which is threaded for a P14 with the intention of chambering it for 303/.25. While a good caliber, that doesn't offer much variety and it started me wondering if I couldn't screw it into a M17 and chamber it for .25-06, .25 Souper, .250-3000 or even .257 Roberts. Thanks for looking. Snow. |

| don't give up on the 303/25 especially if its 1:10 twist barrel. A 1:12 won't do for anything above 87grainers with any sort of accuracy but a 1:10 will throw 60gn pills or 120s and anything in between. Very effective round |

| Sorry mate don't know if the p14 gear fits a p17 Personaly I'd keep the 303/25 idea going especially if you've got a 1:10 twist barrel there. It's an awesome round, used a lot down my way during the 70s before it was discontinued. BTW if you have any necked down cases that you don't end up needing. I'll happily take em off you hands  |
