Call them the Gewehr 250(a) and Gewehr 282(e) then people will perk up.

I don't understand why they aren't as sought out as many of the other milsurp rifles neither, considering that they had a very short production time and most of them have been ruined over the past hundred years.
Possibly, since they are scarce, most people don't realize how cool these things really are?. Just look in the EE to see how many are for sale, versus how many 98's or lee enfields are available........Actually, maybe this is a good thing and I will be able to scoop up a couple before they become more in demand!
I think they are "sleepers" and will be the next milsurps to sky rocket in value, just like the 1903, and garands have in the past decade.

Somebody needs to feature them in a video game, then you’ll see the price skyrocket. That’s how this new generation works.

TBH, I first saw a full-wood 1917 in a zombie-apocalype movie and knew I had to get at least one...

Anyone have a non weedon repair P14?
I've been looking for one not sure if there is any to speak of in Canada

I have a winchester P14 with both volley sights. Anything to look for to make sure it's not a repro addition?
