I am researching information on a Remington P14 303 rifle that was sporterized in the 1920s. It originally belonged to my grandfather.
It is serial number 50154.
The stock is identical to the Remington Model 30 with checking. the rear sight was removed and replaced with a Mauser sliding ramp type on the barrel but the V is much larger. The front sight is the same as Model 30.
There are 3 marks that I would like to know about.
Underneath thr RE on the top of the chamber is an S with 3 lines on each side radiating out from the S.
On the left side of the chamber is a crown and underneath it the letters GR. Underneath that is an X with the letter P in the lower part of the X. There are 2 other symbols in the sides of the X that I cannot make out.
I would appreciate any information or comments on this rifle that might be useful.
Thanks for any help.
