Found a couple of P-14's in decent shape. I am going after the one with the peep sights. What would be a reasonable price for these.

If the bore is good, $500 would be a decent price to start. There are a couple on gunbroker right now.

I got mine for $450 very recently. Here it is for comparison. Ye Olde Gun Porn (Blog)
They aren't cheap, that's for sure. $450 and up.
will probably get the pair for $500 to $600

"...will probably get the pair for $500 to $600"
That sounds like a steal.
Get them quickly, before the seller changes his mind!
The US Enfield by Skennerton has the story of the transition from P14 to M17. IIRC all the spares and tooling were sold by the British for about $900,000; it had cost them over $20,000,000. in gold.Quote:

The P14 cost on average $42. each. Each M17 costed out at $26.00 each
This is how the USA ended WWI as the world's largest creditor!
Got them today. Paid 125 each for the 14's. A NO4 Mk1 cost me 325, is sporterized with a 5 shot clip and drilled and tapped.Also bought 3 cooeys for 100 a piece. Total for the $875 for 6 guns. awesome.

Are the P14s sporterized too? The Cooeys must be like new then?
No a little too much for the cooeys but the overall price was reasonable for all of them and I made the deal that way. Would have cost a little more to buy them separately.

hmmm

Ase they complete with front and rear volley sights, correct stocks, and correct small parts? At $125 they are probably a steal even if non-matching.

I would say: very well done, and that was a great steal.
They did at first . Production was halted until the problem was worked out . Except at Winchester. They went ahead. That's why the higher ups did not want Winchesters over in Europe for a bit , the parts would not interchange freely.Quote:
