post about .303 (from rifles)

[jon lynn]

I added this here, sure more could be said about this specific .303:

I found a .303 that looks like a Springfield, but I can't see much except for British Crown type stamps, and a flower stamp on the top of the action, and barrel.

The bore looks okay, but the muzzle will defenantly need some polishing. They want $200 even.

Okay, got all the info on the .303

on the right hand side of receiver:

ERA
Serial number


On the left side Barrel
MADE IN USA, stamped over something I can’t read and two tiny stamps before the “303”and a tiny number 4 after, then BM in a circle with three lines coming out of the top.

On the left side of receiver:
An arrow pointing left then’ NETR PROOF’ stamped over a stamp of G&R with two crossed flags with an “F” under the flags, then a circle stamp with HM in it and a crown on top, then a perfectly legible arrow/and the “G&R” over the crossed flags and F on the bottom.

jon lynn,
I read the posts in the Rifles Forum and Joe and Adam are correct, it is a P-14 made outside Philadelphia in WWI. The rifle is worth $200.00 in military condition. I have sent you a PM. All the best...
