That's not surprising, considering your track record.
I bet that 8VH barrel is from a M15 & that the other one laying there is original to the gun. Just because of the removable front sight & I haven't heard of any M14's with a VH shroud. Just my guess.

But, I'm thinking that frame would look good with my SS 10" vented/scoped barrel....

You are right, it would look great, and if you sent me the VH8 barrel and shroud it would look even better.

Wisdom is merely the realization of how little one knows, therefore I am wise.

Nope--there's never a reason to start chopping on a perfectly good 714 when I have a 715 already 🙂

***EDIT*** check out my NEWEST newest find ….
So it's another day at the gun show, and I'm hauling around two 15-2's to sell…. So of course the last thing I expected to do was spend $550 on another 15-2 … but, it happened...( Yes, you read it right … $550…). So here she is — basically a mint 15-2 in the original foam carton with no cardboard outer….
"but SHOOT– it's just a 15-2…?"
Yea, but it came with these two cool custom fit holsters for DW's….
"but still….?"
Yea, but there's more… it came with this cool little leather pouch to hang on your belt…
"what the hell are you going to do with a crappy little pouch?"
That's exactly what I thought until the seller handed it to me….
Hey… there's an extra barrel in there…wait a minute…. it a LONG barrel…..
In fact– it is a 10VH barrel ….UNFIRED !!!
…..
So, it wasn't exactly a, and I don't need the 15, or the holsters, but the pouch and the 10VH are too cool to pass up–so I opened the wallet and the rest is history….

Well, here she is….We'll call her Frankenstein It is a model 714 frame, has model 715 barrels, and the box is from a 44 mag barrel….
When I picked up the feeler gauge (automotive) I could tell something wasn't right… After closer inspection, I found that the .006 gauge was in fact stuck to the .007 gauge behind it … I hope nobody used this .013 gap for shooting !!!
Another interesting note — the checkering on the grips is pressed in stead of cut–I've never seen a pressed DW grip before. And the grip medallions are silver.
