In this "I Have This Old Gun" segment from a recent episode of American Rifleman TV, the crew delves into the history behind the British Pattern 1914 rifle. Due to the foreboding but foreseeable onset of World War I, the British stayed with the outdated but plentiful .303 British. The Pattern 1914 may have been a little rough around the edges, but served it purpose with inarguable results. Along with the standard Pattern 1914, ARTV also takes a look into some of its variants, such as a sniper version and its 30-06-chambered American brother, the M1917. For more, check out the video.
