Here we present a Remington British Contract Pattern 14 Enfield Bolt Action Infantry Rifle, made circa 1916. The primary British contractor of the Pattern 14 was a contractor named Vickers, who was unable to produce more than a handful of rifles, so the P14 became an afterthought to be British made. The need for additional small arms combined with a shortage of spare industrial capacity led the British government to contract with United States commercial arms manufacturers Winchester, Remington, and Eddystone, which was a subsidiary of Remington set up to manufacture the Pattern 14, to produce the P14 for the British government before the United States entered the war in 1917. However, each factory produced slightly differing parts, leading to interchangeability issues. Therefore, the official designation of the rifle was dependent upon its manufacturer. For example, the Pattern 1914 Mk I “W” is a Mk I of Winchester manufacture, “R” would be Remington, or “E” for Eddystone. There was a total of 1,235,298 Pattern 14s manufactured by these three contractors, with 400,000 being made by Remington. The overall condition is very good. The action is strong all around. The bore is bright and in good shape. A great rifle from World War I! This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Barrel is 26 inches. Caliber: .303 British Overall condition as seen in photos.
