So how do you feel about a U.S. Model 1917 rifle being referred to as a P-17? 
Enfield No. 2 MK I:

It bugs me. No such thing as a P17.

Pattern 14 (P14) Enfield rifle .303 caliber (very similar to the P17 Eddystone rifle)
Pattern 17 (P17) Eddystone rifle 30-06 caliber
Also, there is an Enfield Pistol No1 Mk2, however you may be more familiar with the Webly & Scott revolvers all of WW1 and WW2 fame.. Webley & Scott also made auto loaders. __________________

Pattern 14 rifle. P14.
Rifle, Model of 1917.1917.
The 1917 is not a P17, though that is how they are commonly referred to. __________________

Back to the Nagant issue. I hate it when a Mosin Nagant is called a Mosin. 91/30, M44, M38, M39, 91/59 is easier. Yes it could be a U.S. M44, but that usually does not come up on Surplus threads. We are talking arf.com lingo here. What a bunch of mall ninjas. __________________

What did I miss? All Eddystones are Eddystones.. My reference was about folks calling them pattern 17's or P17's.. I do know a Pattern 14 is not an Eddystone but it "looks" similar.. only in british 303 caliber.
But like Tango said, who really gives a rip as long as you know what they're talking about  __________________

It's all good ..
And for the record? I refer to all my MN rifles as Mosin Nagants and the revolver as Nagant.. __________________
