(forgive me if this is not appropriate to post in this forum but it seemed like the right place.)

Does anyone have an opinion on what this rifle might be worth? Im not really sure what to list it at on the EE and would appreciate some input, i invested a fair bit in this and dealt directly with SEI and crocs on it.

Started with:

1984 manufacture M1A receiver with very low round count. One of the nicest springfield receivers ive seen or had my hands on.
USGI TRW bolt
USGI Winchester trigger group
USGI Mercury Machine and Tool Oprod
New sage Chassis in black

All sent down to SEI via Crocs guns.

Who did the install/assembly of:

SEI CH 22" medium heavy barrel with M80HT + Fitting of barrel and Headspacing
M80HT of the supplied USGI op rod and M80HT of the sage op rod guide/block+SEI shims for install of sage (not using the rubbish sage shims)
SEI warfighter gas system (SEI cylinder, piston, gas plug)
SEI GLFS
Sadlak NM oprod spring guide
SEI provided chrome silicon op rod spring
SEI extended bolt lock
SEI 4.5 lb MAX-PAK Trigger Upgrade (amazingly good)
SEI connector lock pin and roll pin kit
SEI provided and installed USGI bolt internals
SEI vortex DC flash hider
SEI M14 Scope Mount, Wire EDM
Sadlak mag release
SEI NM front sight, USGI NM rear sight

Some machining was done there as well as a handful of other small items not mentioned. They greased and test fired the rifle and sent it back via an exporter.

Also on the rifle but could be parted out,
GG&G heavy duty bipod
Vortex optics razor HD 5-20x50
Vortex 35mm low rings

Ive had the rifle for 3 years and have put 246 rounds of nosler 175grain and 190 rounds of hornady 168grain tap fpd through it with not a single issue.

I am selling it because my life has changed a fair bit since i got the rifle in 2013 and just i dont use it anymore, as you can see from the round count.

Input welcome.
 
Not sure if this helps, but I bought a Springfield Socom II in 2012-13, the retail cost was around $3100.00 taxes in (I got it second hand from a friend much cheaper)
And bought the Sage stock for $1017.00 tax in + shipping
Sadlak scope mount around $300.00

Give or take that rifle would have cost me $4500.00 brand new w/o the scope.
Although from reputable SEI which I have heard some consider better than a factory Springfield (I wouldn't know???), it is a custom gun.
Pretty sure Sage stocks are hard to come by nowadays...you got that going for you. Since Sage is on major back order as Military orders take priority, than the US civi market and lastly us :)

Then there is this:

Hope it helps!!!
 
You should be able to see $5,500 with-out optic, rings or bi-pod.....

You could start at 6K in the EE and see where it goes from there. I'm not sure how long it would languish in the EE as items with high initial cost tend to sit a bit longer than others.

I recently assembled a Kreiger medium weight Stainless BBL with all USGI (mixed) parts onto a Nork receiver and installed into a Blackfeather chassis. Total build cost before optic was $4700. Your rifle is defiantly worth more than that IMHO. The receiver and the chassis are worth more than the build I just completed.
