If I left that impression then that's on me. Those coversations lasted a long time with plenty of P14 versus number 3 discussion amongst all the rest. I've passed on it not because of the rifle (which I would call an example of a prototype trainer based off the WW1 P14 because the records are gone and there's no hard proof) but because I'd rather spend the money on other guns. Plus its nice to be able to post pics of stuff like it for everyone to see.
