I've been researching online for months now, and I can't find anything like it. Some older Japanese rifles are similar, but not right on. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated, as I want to restore this rifle and use it for deer hunting = )


If it's a Pattern 14 it would fire British .303....What you have there is a heavily sporterized M1917. These originally came in .30-'06.
This is what it originally looked like:
