Pre-68 guns are not required to have an SN

 

[JSPelasara]

Thanks for the info I know the guys on the site have more knowledge on the guns than I have but will try to answer any questions that I can

Good to know, although I would be worried an FFL would require proof of age in this case.

 

[JSPelasara]

I just went out and opened safe curious on the serial number myself and I see none only numbers I see are the numbers p14 USA 303 wondering should I remove it from the classifieds for sale thanks Jeff

 

[matt85]

If the gun still counts as a pre-68... It seems legal. But my knowledge of gun laws is pretty limited. Likely it would be up to someone's FFL.

Did you get a chance to weigh the rifle?

Nice looking rifle. GLWS. There is a way to assign a serial number. Talked to a knowledgeable FFL.

I'm far from an expert, but I think the P14 Eddystone in .303 was only built from 1914-1917. I'm not sure if that helps or not. It is a good looking gun. I'm seriously tempted but have no need for a 505.

 

[JSPelasara]

Thanks I checked with my ffl shop and said before 1968 some had no serial number he said he would have no trouble logging it in and shipping it and for those of you who asked according to my bathroom scale the rifle weighs between nine and a half and 10 pounds

 

[matt85]

Good to hear it's legal, sorry for the scare.

I'll have to pass, 10lb is too light for my taste. Thank you for checking.

P14's were built pre WW1

 

[Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy]

Any more detail on who built the rifle? Also, where is the rifle located? Thanks

 

[Flewis]

Looks like a lot of gun for the money.

It will for sure need a serial number to get into South Africa even temporarily. I seem to recall reading one military rifle from that era had serial number below the wood but can't remember offhand which model.
