That is a Grail rifle to me. Had a chance to get one several years ago at 6K, had to pass. Now those are in the unobtainium category. Values take much of the fun away, like you state. Shoot to enjoy but loose the value of an unfired example. I'd say go for what you want more. You've had this and enjoyed the hunt for it and the pleasure of the achieving. We only go around once, so say you've had it and go for the next Grail.

Tough question to answer. If it were me, the AMT would have made many trips to the range long ago. But, now you have a gun you don't want to shoot. I'd post it on GB with the starting bid at the lowest I'm willing to accept, and pay the buck or two for the "view counter" option so you can see how many people are looking versus how many are putting it on their "watch list".
I'd say there is no point in dying with a bank full of money. Spend and enjoy it while you are here. I just ponied up for a live Bren mark I, after I bought an MG34 last year. They both have holes in the end of the barrel where bullets come out. That's why I have them. They are a blast to shoot. You only go around once. Buy what you want. Don't compromise or settle for less.
In the end, only your opinion matters to you. Mine not so much.

Military training included blindfolded field stripping the Bren.
And then reassembling in 45 seconds. So we could do it in the dark. Key was in careful placement of the pieces when stripping.
