I concur with the posting above about keeping. We are only temporary caregivers of this artifacts. In twenty years someone will come along and offer you a price or a trade that will let you eat a notch higher on the foodchain. That 70 yr old part in the spares bin now might be absolutely irreplaceable in another few years. I don't collect bayonets with my guns, but if it comes with one at a good price I won't refuse it.

It looks like the concensus is for me to keep it. I had originally planned to make tha gun gas fired, and will probably still do that. I don't have the money for a new barrel, and the rest of the breech parts. I also don't want to deal with the governments reqirement for owning a live gun. I will build something that looks like the complete assembly, but does not fire projectiles. Jesse.
