will the 1917 stock fit the p 14

The 1917 stock will fit with modifications. The triggerguard is longer in the magazine body therefore will require wood added to fill in the gaping holes around the front tang. Also the barrel channel is much wider and requires the 303 barrel to be bedded if you want to shoot your rifle. The external detail is much different...just do a side by side comparison. Can be done however doesn't make it a P14. Ron
Some P-'14s were restocked by Canadian Armourers in War 2 using P-'17 wood. Accepted Service mod, same as the name change on the '17 that everyone denies because they read too many American books.
It was the "P-'17" in Canadian manuals, "Eddystone Rifle" to the RCAF guys who lugged them around at Boundary Bay on coast watch.
BTW, it also was a ".300"" calibre rather than ".30 Ball M1906". That's where you get a lot of those boxes of Canadian-made .300" ammo.
It's .30-'06 in disguise.
