I have been looking for a P14 Enfield. It is the same as a P17 (model 1917 30.06) but in .303 Brit. I found a few at Century. I almost got sick at the $. $595.00 Whole sale for good condition. I'll keep looking. jp

Yeah, whoever is pricing those at Century is on crack. I am looking for one myself but they are pretty rare at the shows here in Houston or are priced about like Century's.

patience !

When you do find one they are generally still cheaper than 1917's, Found a nice matching #'s ERA with excellent bore for $175 about 2 yrs ago after passing on many many clunker grades...

Beware of the batch Century imported from India or Greece about 12-14 yrs ago, many of them have crushed barrels from the Century Gorilla who handstamped the import mark ...

The current century P14's are wayyyyyyyy overpriced..

My grandfather and his brother bought 4 of them right after WWII for $15 each. Luckily they kept them all and gave one to my father who passed it down to me. They are a lot of fun to shoot.

I passed on one in one of my favorite shops for around $300 earlier this year as "too expensive". Now, I did wonder later if I should reconsider. I would NOT buy one for $600, however.

You can get a good condition M1917 for that price.
