My elderly neighbor has an Enfield P14 rifle that her now deceased husband left her and she would like to get an idea of how much it is worth.
It is Remington made (RE in an oval with a *) and the metal and bluing is in 95% condition with very small areas of surface rust that would rub right off. The receiver, bolt and rear site's serial numbers match. The stock appears to be an Eddystone and has one small arsenal repair. Like most of these the front volley site is missing but the disk is still there The safety appears to be an Eddystone as well. The bore looks really nice and the action locks up tight like it should. There are no import marks on it anywhere. Thanks in advance! |
That dealer needs a swift kick in the dick
| I agree $450-500 if as described in original mil trim. Deceant P14's are very hard to find, most floating around are beaters imported from India, Greece and misc Middle East countries. Many have fallen victim to Bubba and his love affair with Tung Oil and cold blue.... |

So there are no issues with the mismatched stock and safety?
She wants to sell it but I told her her I was pretty sure it was worth quite a bit more than what she was offered. I talked to her a few minutes ago and she said the dealer was actually an antique dealer and he didn't even know how to remove the bolt. He told her there were so many of these around that they were not worth anything. |

No, if both Volley sight arms are removed it has gone thru an Ordnance facility ( Wheedon (sp?) generally ) and either been totally rebuilt and updated or just updated to newest Mk* configuration with removal of volley sights. Like No1 MkIII's it is VERY hard to find original WW1 configuration P14's |
