How to tell if a No 3 Mk1 is Canadian

[Wiseguym70]

i just finished restoring a No 3 sporter (not completly because the clip guide was grinded off). anyway when i bought it the guy said it was a canadian issued rifle! is there anyway to know? any markings? its a 1918

Just look for the C with an arrow in the middle of it. It should be on the reciever ring. Usually on the left side of the chamber area.

The unit disk may have some information as well. My 1914 was C broad arrow marked.

C Broad Arrows stamped on the left of the receiver and barrel usually.

BTW...sorry to say, if the clip guide is ground off, the rifle is hopelessly Bubbaed.

If you have a whole set of wood etc....just move it over to a different untouched sporter with matching bolt, barrel, receiver, rear sight etc., passing headspace and a clean, shiny, not dark bore.

Notice I said No3 Mk1 is another name for the P-14, not No1 Mk3?
