Attempting to determine the value of a M14 NM stock

[RCS]

I knew a collector who lived near Rock island Arsenal and met a retired employee from that arsenal at a local rifle range. The
retired employee was shooting a M1 rifle with some NM sights and stock. My friend saw the rifle and was able to purchase it.
It was serial number 25.

much later this rifle was restored and sold at Rock island Auction company's auction for $37375.00 on Sept 8th 2019
