From: "Kay, Martin (DEI)", [EMAIL PROTECTED] I would say the subject P14 should not be used without qualified, professional inspection involving removal of the forend woodwork. In my early days as an apprentice in the RAF we had in the barrack rooms racks of No4 rifles with a hole about 3/8 inch diameter drilled vertically through the barrel and forend woodwork just forward of the breech area. I have no idea what, if indeed anything, was done in those distant days to the bolts, it was certainly possible to work the bolt and dry fire as part of standard drill. The rifles were stamped "DP" in several places, it would not be beyond the ingenuity of man to bodge some sort of cosmetic repair to the hole, presenting a real hazard to anyone who managed to fire it.
