I say keep it. You might regret getting rid of it later on. I wouldn’t ever see it going down in value anyway. Just my opinion though.
 
Sell the .50s and replace them with .54s!
I purposely have a range.....58 (colonial), two .54s and a .50. Different style rifles, they shoot differently. I have a .45 SMR awaiting a build.
 
Funny, I have a .54 I built in the '80s, ordered a WoodsRunner in .54...I prefer .54s. they put a smack down on our whitetails...If you lived within 3-4 hours of me, I would ask to take a look at it and see if we could come together on a price...Nice rifle...
 
Two choices that I see.

Get a 50 caliber barrel from Jim or trade the 54 caliber barrel to someone with a 50 caliber Colonial that wants a 54 caliber rifle.

Get a 50 caliber barrel from Jim and keep the 54 caliber barrel as a second barrel for your rifle.
 
Now that you have a backup woods-runner ...Before anything else, I'd spend a little time on your Colonial getting the trigger guard ends to seat into their mortise'es better.
