An extra shooter could easily be used to create the latter, killing two birds with one stone, so to speak...
A couple of years ago, an artie shooter was deemed to be worth $1k minimum. I also have one with the stock lug ground off, but its condition is very nice, with original finish and numbers matching except for the grips which are old replacements. I paid $1200 for it at RIAC--no huge bargain, but I was, and am, happy with it. The Navy in my other post will match it--sans lug and lanyard loop!
