Enfield action value???
What is a Winchester P14 Enfield action worth? This one has had the ears ground.

Anything to be aware of???

Enfield actions start at $65 and go up from there depending on condition. Certainly Winchester is the most desirable. having the ears ground off does not add value because it might be screwed up.

I have a P-17 by Winchester that I might be willing to part with. Was going to have a big bore made but it is cheaper to buy one.

I bought my Winchester P-17 british war reserve in 96 and dealer cost at the time was $275. Remingtons are a little cheaper, not much, and the eddystones are fairly cheap. The P-14's are usually good quality and a fair price. I belive there's a shop in town here that has a whole box of p-14 actions.

Look closely at the ground off part. If it is just ground flat, it is as 500 Grains said, not adding to the value and perhaps lowering it if it was screwed up. BUT, if someone went to the time and expense to fill in the rear bridge sight recess, and properly contour it to either Remington model 30 or Mauser 98 specs, it would save you at least $100 in labor. Sometimes you stumble across little gems like that.

And one other time / money saving tip: Remington 30 triggerguards, as Numrich occassionally has in stock, are the same as straightened P-14 / Model 1917 units, and cost $13.

For those that wanted pictures of my p-17 I will try to post them here. It will be Saturday before I can do it. If I can't get them to post I will try to e-mail them t o you individually.
