Description:
This is a NON-FIRING Drill Purpose training rifle. There is a steel rod welded crosswise into the barrel making the rifle non-firing. This rifle was Manufactured by the Eddystone Armory, a subsidiary of Remington Arms, in Pennsylvania. The British were in desperate need of rifles during the first world war and outsourced the production of the Pattern 1914 Rifle to Winchester, Remington. The Remington Arms Company purchased a half completed locomotive factory in Eddystone Pennsylvania and turned it into an arms manufacturing facility. These rifles saw service in WWI and WWII after the British defeat at Dunkirk made the use of arsenal stored arms a necessity. In 1939 the long range volley sights were removed from nearly all P14 Enfields and the rifles were finally declared obsolete in 1947. This rifle displays many markings on the stock as well as multiple "DP" (Drill Purpose) stamps in the metal and wood. There has been a repair to the heel of the stock, adding to this rifles' character. There was a unit marked stock disc in the rifle at one time, this has been removed and filled in with a wood disc that has been smoothed over. There is a stock repair just forward of the bolt handle. It appears that the bayonet lug was manufactured by Remington being marked with a capital "R." The gun is import marked.This rifle would have been used for training purposes including familiarizing new recruits with a bolt action rifle as well as dry-firing drills. This rifle would make a great addition to any non-firing rifle collection or just an interesting conversation piece with some interesting history attached to it. Once again this rifle is in NON-FIRING condition. Per British law a hole at least the same size as the bore must be drilled through the barrel and a steel plug welded in place to make the firearm non-functional.
