Winchester p14

[Caleb]

While browsing classifieds as I usually do to torture myself, I came across this bad boy. The price was good and I couldn’t resist so, here we are.

It’s a Winchester pattern 1914 chambered in .303 British. I’ll throw the stamps on here and let the pro tell you about it (you know who you are).

You didn't ask permission first? You may get your nads back yet...

Very cool. In the first set of pics whats the little diAl with numbers?

[Caleb]

Those are “volley sights”. Instead of me trying to explain it, check out this 5min video.... https://youtu.be/lUA0RouS5Dg

Very cool gun Caleb. If it could only talk and tell its tale I'm sure we would listen for hours. So the little nub on the volley sight distance dial served as the front sight? Depending on the distance you dialed it in for you used the flip up rear and that nub to 'lob' rounds in? I don't see any adjustment on the rear volley sight so I'm guessing that?

[Caleb]

You would use the front “dial” nub as you call it and the rear aperture that’s on the left of the receiver (see pics). You don’t use the ladder sight at all to volley shots.

That's what I meant. Rear flip up volley sight and knub on dial as your front.
Thanks
