more info. maybe a barrel band first...

A No1 barrel on a P14? Sure, use a string to pull the trigger from behind sandbags just in case.

 

[John Sukey]

Well, aside from the rather artistic rendering of the stock, the action is certainly strong enough and assuming the barrel has been properly installed, why not?
I just wouldn't open my wallet to buy the thing when there are complete P14's still available or a Model 30 Remington.

 

[revilo]

it would be cool to graft SMLE front end wood on to that. A P-14/SMLE hybrid...

 

[Tex Critter]

Thats butt ugly. I'll bet it kills deer damn good!

 

[Pblatzz]

That's not a no 1 barrel, The threads foir the P-14/P-17 are a a square type of thread, not to mention the barrel shank is larger. It looks like the original barrel with a SMLE rear sight soldered on to it and a funky front sight, but saying that (without a close up of the rear sight) It could be a mauser rear sight?

Tie it down and try it...

Looks more like a 91/30 sight to me.

 

[woodchopper]

looks like a Nagant rear sight, either way the square threads would not work well with a replacement barrel. If its the original barrel then I dont think there are any issues IF its a replaement barrel then I don't think I would shoot it.

If you asking, you should already know the answer. No.

This is the correct answer. If it's not, then why not you "Danger lurks around every corner" guys?

Check the headspace.

I saw that last night as well, and I was going to drop you a PM asking the same question.
It's labeled as a P14, but...well your thinking the same thing I am.

Mind you I bet it has an interesting history to tell.

 

[Deano]

That rifle has been bubar'd. Buubba'd up beyond all repair.

 

[Levi Garrett]

Looks fine, safe , butt ugly

 

[collector67]

I don't know about shooting, but I bet it would burn real good!
Damn Bubba to hell!
