    Question P-14 Enfield

    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.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

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

    "...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 Skennertonicon has the story of the transition from P14 to M17. IIRC all the spares and tooling were sold by the Britishicon 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 USAicon ended WWI as the world's largest creditor!
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.

    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.
