P13 on the EE

[points]

Good God. Is that a badly bubbad P13 listed as a P14 in the EE?
It looks like the rear sight mount is drilled for a scope mount

Well, there goes my appetite for the next week.

They were. What I am not sure of is if they were ever made into 303 on a trials basis or if in this case, just some left over furniture. I have never seen a P14 in a P13 stock. Just guessing.

P13...only a 1000 made all in 276. The guy advertising has got it right....303 british with a sporterized stock that resembled P13. Don't be mislead.....action doea not have any P13 featured. It's a P14 spoterized 303!!!!!

When I saw that ad, I thought the same thing. Somehow those grooves just aren't right.

You'r probably right. I just saw the stock and was mesmerised by it.

sort-of-phew, then! Not as as bad as I thought. Imagine that, a Bubba'ed P13 on Remembrance Day.

Speaking of Remembrance Day: Thanks to all of you who are directly concerned!

That P13 in the above photo has to one of the only few in existence. Every picture of a P13 turns out to be that one.. Wouldn't you like to get your hands on that.

 

[Fazakerley]

It was a P13...

The sporterized P14 was actually a P13. I'm absolutely certain...

 

[flying pig]

Did you buy it?

 

[Fazakerley]

Did you buy it?

Yes. I wasn't sure from the posting that it was P13, but I thought I'd take a chance. It arrived today and I was able to confirm my hunch. It's going to take a lot of work to restore it to something approaching its original condition… I'll keep everyone posted on the progress of the project, but it may take some time to complete.

Wow. That's awesome and a definite score for you! Would you be willing to post some detail photos of it as is?
