OP: why sell it? If you put that much into it, keep it!
You're right. I may very well keep it.
Along with some of the work listed above. I'm having M14 Medic go over the receiver of that, and another M14 to see where they stand, dimensionally. Maybe I should have done that before doing any work. Nevertheless, it will help me to decide what to do with both rifles going forward.
