WORLD WAR I British EDDYSTONE Pattern 14 Enfield C&R .303 MILITARY Rifle
BRITISH CONTRACT Bolt Action MILITARY SERVICE Rifle
Here we present a C&R Eddystone British Contract Pattern 1914 Enfield British Bolt Action Rifle, made circa 1915-17 in Eddystone, Pennsylvania. The Pattern 14 was a British service rifle of the First World War period. 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 principally to manufacture the Pattern 14, to produce the P14 for the British, which continued until the United States entered the war in 1917.
The Eddystone Arsenal was a Baldwin Locomotive Works subsidiary located in Eddystone, Pennsylvania that produced military hardware for the Allies of World War I. As orders from combatants exceeded the production capacity of Baldwin's Philadelphia factory, this manufacturing facility was built in Eddystone, Pennsylvania. When the first world war ended, this manufacturing complex was used for locomotive manufacturing as Baldwin’s Eddystone Plant.
The overall condition is good. Robust action. Bright, nicely rifled bore. Solid stock with average wear. Markings are legible. “SPR SPIR” import marked. Matching serial number added to the “E” marked bolt. Fitted with volley sights on the left.
