That's a nice slender looking stock. Sounds like it has some good upgrades (c on open and new bolt handle). Does it also have a timney trigger? Good luck with your inletting. Hopefully you also glass bed it. Give us a range report and more pics when you get her done. Thanks!!View attachment 506526
Here is a 1917 I bought from Jeramy at lucky sporting goods. Had it rechambered to 300 H&h,new bolt Handel,converted to Cock on opening. Now am working on getting it inleted into the new stock.
You have the right attitude. Just take your time. Looks like it's going to be a beautiful and functional rifle. My buddy was just over at the house and he was looking at my sporterized p14 303 British laying on the work bench and asked a couple times what I'm going to do with it. I told him I'm going to throw it in the BSA model e stock and probably sell it. I have no use for a 303 british... he asked, "how much". I told him, for you $150.00. He got choked up and said I always wanted to get one like you used to have. I may just give the dang thing to him. I've been hunting with him since I was 10 years old. His birthday is on the 19th. I might just surprise him with that rifle all fixed up and refinished.. I'll probably put my project on hold and start on that one..I bought the speed lock kit from Dayton traister. Came with new fireing pin spring,cocking piece, and trigger. Inleting is tougher than I thought might take me all winter.
Good luck with it. 404 would be cool.BSA. Sounds like your a good friend. I have a p14 that I had converterd to 404 Jeffery. It doesn't feed right. I'm taking it back to the guy for the third time hopefully he can get it feeding this time.
Me too.....I'd love to see the finished project. Please, give us a total cost when you're done. Certainly, alot of time and money was put into this project.
Some of us can only dream about converting a military rifle into a sporter (if a gunsmith was doing it).
Then, OK, Ok, ok.....some of us, "would not even dream to sporterize". So be it.
Before and after pics too.

As for your friend's P14......
$10 for a transfer/background check.....is a super deal.
Course FREE would be even better. Dam those politicians and liberal voters.
Aloha, Mark
Thanks. I appreciate that.A pink eraser, the large rectangular ones with the angled ends wrapped in wet/dry paper works great to work up the slurry and get the grain filled.
I'm sure you have your tricks as well, as the stock looks nice. I think your friend is going to love it!
