    Advice re P14

    My old mate has a P14 .303
    Rough barrel, no sights but scope rail fitted.
    He asked me about what to do (rebarrel it, etc).
    I thought it not worth doing anything. "Put the $$ into a modern rifle" I said...but am I wrong?
    Don't want to give him wrong advice, so figured you folks would know what's best.
    Thanks.

    You are right. He could get a good new rifle for the cost of rebarreling the P14. If the serial number of it begins with a W then it is a Winchester and the action has some value to a custom rifle builder. If it is an Eddystone (ERA) then it is not worth persevering with.
