I was trying to get advice on what this stock may be for? It is about 42 1/2 inches long. Has the letters AAM on the left side, has a P just below the trigger, and a symbol with number 339 just after the magazine space. Thanks
Originally created to augment a shortage of infantry rifles within the British Army during the Great War, the P14 Enfield was produced by three U.S. manufacturing firms, Remington, Winchester, and Eddystone. When the United States entered the war, they too experienced a shortage of infantry rifles, and quickly adopted the already in production P14 as the Model of 1917.p14 would not have american cartouches... I agree, building a rifle from a stock would be very expensive but a lightly sporterized rifle would benefit from a replacement stock.
correct 3 civilian companies, which would not have US government inspectors marking up guns built for great Britain.Originally created to augment a shortage of infantry rifles within the British Army during the Great War, the P14 Enfield was produced by three U.S. manufacturing firms, Remington, Winchester, and Eddystone.

It`s the same damn stock..................The difference between the Pattern 14 & the 1917 is, one is chambered in .303 & the other in .30-06......................correct 3 civilian companies, which would not have US government inspectors marking up guns built for great Britain.
the 1917 was a completely different rifle, made in 30-06, not 303, no 1917 ever started out as a P14. I was pointing out that since this stock has american inspectors proofs it is from a 1917 not a P14....
