Niner: I absolutely agree; there is no excuse for killing people. I was not looking for an excuse; "we" hunters and shooters are seeking a "reason" for which this tradgedy ocurred. Behavior modification can arise from knowledge. I will desist on this subject and turn my interest ...

A square: Indeed, the hunting/shooting fraternity has already come "under fire" from MN Public Radio, to wit "Assault rifle used in the slaying of 6 Wisconsin hunters...". I wonder when the "state" will provide current cartography to accurately depict "public v. pr...

Adam: I am locally known as a curmudgeon and there are occasions when myself gets the upper hand. I've e-mailed you a message explaining the reasons for which I let my persona "leak out onto the forum". Like you, I appreciate game-hunting, at its fairest aspect. I've been a "shooter&q...

Adam: I extend my apologies to anyone offended by my remarks regarding "true riflemen"; it was not my intent to appear elitist or parochial with regard to the "shooting sports". I have hunted deer, elk, moose, "upland game-birds", small game and varmints for many years ...

Having some leisure time, I searched my P 14 for marks. The butt, just aft the "sweep" of the grip reveals a triangle with an "O" or "8" or ?. Unfortunately, the grip is chipped just forward of the triangle. The receiver ring has a 5 point star in a circle. Knox form is...

"Enfield-Stuff", a web site I found, has "Eddystone" volley sight parts available; no "Remington" or "Winchester" parts as they are "sold out". Site provides some information about volley sights/utilization and some photos for reference. ed <p>

I received my Win. mfr'd P14 this past week; sn W226181. Very nice wood; excellent metal and bore. Wooden plug in the unit disk spot. Mismatched bolt - the dealer told me it would be so. Front volley-sight plate only; furniture is Win. marked but I've not inventoried all the small parts for mfr ID. ...
