    Sprinfield Armory can probably help you with the date. If you can post some photos it would help with valuation.

    Go to M-14forums.com, there is a SN listing by year that may help.
    Looks about 3/95 or so.

    Based on that high a serial number, I'd be surprised if it has a USGI barrel. Or stock.

    In any case, it's difficult to put a price on this rifle. The cost of USGI parts has recently gone through the roof; a complete parts set (minus the receiver) can bring $1,200. So, that should make an M1A with all USGI parts worth > $1,500.

    But, it doesn't always work that way. There are thousands of owners out there who don't know that their rifles have appreciated that much, so, when they go to sell them, they are glad to get $1,000-1,200.

    Bottom line is that your rifle is what a buyer is ready, willing, & able to pay at any given time.
