I’m in the club of too expensive.
I just three weeks ago picked up a S&W Model 15 in similar condition for $405 off of GB. Total after taxes, shipping, and transfer was under $500.
It’s a SHOOTER!
Haven’t had it out but twice, but on second trip, I shot a “clean” 12rds in 20sec at 15yds. 158gr SWC over 3.6gr of HP38. Duplicates the 755fps service load.
If the M14 had ORIGINAL box and paper work, the it might be worth the price.
If you are happy, then it was a good deal!
I’m happy with my M15! No box, just a cheap plastic holster…
