The Rifle, .303 Pattern 1914 was a British service rifle of the First World War period, principally manufactured under contract by companies in the United States. It was a bolt-action weapon with an integral five round magazine that served as a sniper rifle and as second line and reserve issue until it was declared obsolete in 1947. The Pattern 1914 Enfield was the successor to the experimental Pattern 1913 Enfield and the predecessor of the US Rifle M1917 Enfield.
