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.

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.

The assembly record for the P14 was about 50 rifles a day per man. For the M17 it inexplicably jumped to 280 rifles a day per man!

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!

The three plants also turned out non-compatible guns/parts, yet the p1917 didnt have that issue?

hmmm

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.

They aren't cheap, that's for sure. $450 and up.

That sounds like a steal.

Get them quickly, before the seller changes his mind!

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.
