Merc,
Good questions. I am actually interested in your rifle, so additional pictures without the glare would be appreciated!
I think you are going to find many people here, having an issue with the "rebuild" that Sarco did.... ie... reactivation of a welded drill rifle. I know that Gibbs/ OWS was also selling these rifles.

Most people are concerned about safety.... There is alot of conjecture about heat treatment/ annealing during the weld process..... but as some would say... a well done reactivation is safe, if the rifle wasn't heavily welded on. Chuck in Denver may have sage advice here.

There will be a value of the rifle from being used in a series... but it will be detracted due to the reactivation. Some people may not care... best course of action, in the future if you wish to sell the rifle, is to notify people of the fact that it was a drill rifle but has a letter of authenticity as being used in a movie. All bases are covered, and people won't feel cheated.

I think experts will have some opinions... I look forward to their discourse!
