  2. Scotti did develop a closed bolt version of the Model X. Two were tested in the UK as the "Scotti Lee Enfield" in 1939-40. They failed miserably, suffering many parts breakages and being terribly inaccurate.

  3. Scotti did develop a closed bolt version of this system. Two P14 rifles were converted to the closed bolt system and tested by the British War Office. They failed miserably; failing to function and being prone to breakages. There is a Royal Armouries video about it on YT.
