Ahem ... the Pattern 1914 and the Model 1917 are very similar, except for the cartridge. The British were all set to abandon the Lee Enfield line which even before WWI was acknowledged as hard to build and cranky to accurize. The war started before they could get rolling with Army-wide production. The Americans were going to replace the 1903 Springfields for similar reasons, and then they too got drawn into the war.

The bolt faces and extractors are different. The barrels are .30-06 or .303BR. The sights aren't the same. Otherwise there are few immediately discernable differences, until compared side-by-side.

Theres a differnce in 303 rounds? so 303, 303brit and 303epps are all different?

I have a Enfield Pattern 1914 that has been sporterized that I have offered to give to a buddy of mine once he gets his lisence in the mail (which we know is anywhere from 2-5 months of waiting!). Anyways we are gonna start working on it now so once he has his lisence it is already good to go for him. We are trying to find a synthetic stock for it but all of the stock say for Enfield mark I, II, III ect. What mark is my rifle? Or do you know of another Enfields stock that will fit on my model? We are hoping to find one of the ATI stocks for it and perferably buy it off of Marstar.

Thanks, Ranger

I've found a few R700 ones that I think if I get the heavy barrel/long action will fit my pat. 1914 .303british. I will be pissed if I buy one, pay for shipping and all only to have it not fit.....I understand I will have to do some slight adjustments and all which is fine.

That would be a frustrating and colossal waste of time. Especially when you have no shortage of options. Unless of course you like doing endless inletting and bedding in the hopes of getting something shootable...

Well, if you mean 303 Savage, 303 British, and 303 Epps and 303 Ackley, then yes. The first two are factory rounds (which are NOT the same), the last two are improved versions of the 303 British. - dan
