The image currently used for the M1917 is actually a British P14. You can tell be the style of stock and the marking disc. I'm going to try and find a decent image of an actual M1917 to upload. - [[User:Nyles|Nyles]] | The image currently used for the M1917 is actually a British P14.

The 1917 Enfield was at one time more popular for sporterizing than the 03 Springfield. Especially for those who wanted a strongly made rifle for the safari or Dangerous Game calibers. Mainly .375 H&H Magnum and .416 Rigby. --[[User:Jcordell|Jcordell]] ([[User talk:Jcordell|talk]]) 18:08, 11 September 2013 (EDT) | |||

Shouldn't the P14 be the PRIMARY gun on this page? since the M1917 was a U.S. Adaption of the British rifle? MoviePropMaster2008 03:47, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
- Well, there were more M1917s than P14s made, and the M1917 was a primary US service weapon where it was only a secondary one for the Brits, so I think M1917 should probably be the primary gun. - Nyles
- which one was more prevalent is technically NOT the criterion IMFDB uses. We start with the original BASE GUN and the Pattern 1914 came first and was copied and rechambered by the Americans. At the least the P14 should be mentioned or have a section. Our page here, unfortunately, acts like the M1917 just came out of thin air, with no nods to the P14 at all. :( MoviePropMaster2008 15:21, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
