US Model of 1917 P17

[davemccarthy707]

How much can I expect to pay for a P-17 in great+ condition?
I sold one last year still in cosmo for 500 bucks. Has the price changed any?

If I had had $500 when you offered it I probably would have tried to buy it and been glad of the chance. I don't suppose there are many in that condition, though, so it isn't indicative of what most of them go for.

I have one. (it not for sale)
most around here in full wood cost from $350 to $650.

Here is an interesting one that I have. Not for sale at this time,but I figure I'd want $600 one day down the road.

Why is the Model 1917 worth more than the Pattern 1914 rifle? From what I understand the M17 was produced in greater numbers than the P14...you'd think it would be the other way around?

I would suspect the caliber...30-06. To most shooters the 30-06 is an easy round to reload, plus the rifle is an incredibly accurate gun...almost on par with the M1903.
