This is an attic find in a house well over 100years in age .
Am having a hard time figuring out what rifle this is .
Was owned by my grandparents I believe.

Ny

Pattern 14 Enfield WW1 period. Not a US M1917 based on Cdn. proofs

Thank you
I haven’t looked for the barrel or sights but I would suspect they are up there somewhere.
It dose still cycle and the pin fires .

that’s really cool I might of found my great grandads war rifle

no barrel? maybe Grand dad was going to build a custom rifle in a different caliber than .303?

Honestly he could have .
He worked on a lot of his guns and was pretty knowledgeable in custom builds.
We have many others he modified including a
1895 Winchester.

Be cool if you finished the sporting rifle he was aiming to build. Finish the receiver pretty, rebarrel it and find a nice stock. Then bag you a nice deer in his memory

Would love to.
Not sure anywhere where I could get the work done .
not as skilled as my grandfather.
Nova Scotia Canada dose not have many options.
I did find a barrel yesterday but looks to be to a 303 British.

the hunt continues.
