P-14 Enfield

U.S.C.G. 8118
I recently found a P-14 Enfield in pristine condition, they are asking $300 for the gun, according to the NRA condition list it is about 95%. I was wondering what the value of this gun would be and if it a good buy price, all numbers match, and rifling is awesome. thanks

    If it is the P-14 303 British $300.00 is a little to high. If it is the P-17 30-06 then it is a good price for one in that good original condition. I just purchased a P-14 with importer marks on barrel for $80.00 at a gunshow. The metal was 80% the stock was so soaked with oil and dirt it took 3 cleanings with oven cleaner to get it good enough to stain and re-oil. I got a p-17 in same shape and was very happy to only give $250.00, that was a steal!!

    I don't know where you are all shopping but I would say $300 is just about right. I got one in beater shape but with a good bore and all matching for $165 in Sept and was happy to get it; they aren't as common as Lee Enfields.

    Please note, fellow gun enthusiasts, this thread is an excellent example (perhaps the best I've seen) to illustrate the difference in gun values on a regional basis. The lesson to be learned here is that, the next time you ask for a value, and someone who lives a long way from where you do gives you an unbelievable answer, either high or low, they are not crazy. Some very trustworthy members of the forum have participated here, and I do not doubt their price estimates. I bought all of my 3 specimens at Big 5 in California in 1988, 2 Eddystones and 1 Winchester for $85 each. Today, in Oregon, I would estimate their value at $250 each. Good lesson here.[:)]

    Not only are the values of these things regional as Der Geb says, but the use you have for them is also a big factor.

    If one is truly pristine it may be worth $300 and more to someone wanting to fill out a collection of military weapons, or to a museum. Donald Trump may pay thousands for one if he needed it.

    As a hunting rifle, they're too long, too ugly, so-so caliber, - other hunters would laugh you out of the woods. Worth from $50 -$100.

    The actions are strong, - make great custom rifles, but it's expensive pruning off all the junk and making them pretty, so value is $50-$100 when buying one for this purpose.

    There's also probably a lot of variation in value to buyers in the same little town in Kansas.
    Everyone doesn't see everything the same way. In my old home town the ugly girls all found husbands too.

    Beuaty is in the eye of the beholder. While all those hunters were laughing at you, you will be out in the woods cleaning your moose.
    And all those hunters proberly had 30-30's, a much less powerful round in all respect's.
