    While we are at it difference in top of front band. Keep in mind this P14 has been rebuilt with a M1917 stock.

    Rear sight. P14 has a 1650 Mark and M1917 does not. That's the tell I have noticed.

    Thank you. Mine has a 1917 follower. Will attempt to post some photos of this rifle soon. Excellent work except for the feed conversion.

    I'm curious if they tried too grid center rib off. Have seen several that have been. I've found two M1917s with P14 mag followers. Both did not like to feed from left side. Guess yours won't be the third. Wonder why the front was narrowed or what one was trying to accomplish (weight saving...nah)'

    I believe the 1903 follower is very close (I think one I got had it, a while back but remember the conversation).


    Changed it to a for sure 1917 and the feed problem went away.

    Pretty subtle and I would not have spotted it, my brother did, he has a very good eye for that sort of detail.

    If you go to the Springfield Sporter website they will show a comparsion of the two. Beware that there are at least two different versions for each of the three manufacturers of the P14.

    P246-- Note that the front band of the Winchester is slightly different from the Remington and Eddystone. All three manufacturers will fit each other rifles.

    I need to look at the front bands closer. Both the P14 and M1917 were made at Eddystone. Unless the changed them from 1916 to 1918 one of them might have another manufacturers front band. The M1917 I know is all Eddystone, I'll have to look at the P14 parts closer.
