I was thinking also that the parts are worth more than the whole rifle, this is a theme with old rifles the parts worth more than the whole, similar with some vintage vehicles !

Yes, a valid point! I had a shortened MLE with a 16" barrel as a truck gun (back when you were allowed to carry such things around) in Ashley Forest. It shot rather well but was bloody loud!
