Fencer Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Hiya RKIs... I hope some of you are also Garand people. Any idea what I could get for the Garand listed below?This comes from a distant WWII vet relative. I have two others which are less valuable and I needsome cash to purchase a mobility scooter or else I would keep it. The bullet guide, buttplate and stock are the only items which are not "correct" for the serial number. I am thinking of taking it to Cabelas.

BillyDixon Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 ive seen ones just like it local here going for around 800.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterB Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 You've definitely got my interest as a potential buyer. Have you figured out how much you want? Cabelas doesn't usually give much. They are a middle man that needs to resell for a profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman1957 Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 That's still in WWII configuration. Should be worth more than 800. FWIW. There are garand collector sites that someone can post you to. Don't get taken to the cleaners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adg105200 Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 I paid about $1500 for my 1942 SA rebarreled w/ a '47 barrel and a new stock. Haven't been following the market lately but I would figure it should be worth at least $12-1500. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Really dependsWe have a very decent Winchester M1D with an original M84 optic that get's no love at $2400 at shows. We would let it go a couple hundred less but nobody would jump at it Here your typical M1 is still an $800 rifle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 I have a mobility scooter for sale that I'd happily trade for it? Jim B, Might be interested in the M1D as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Dudley Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 I recently bought 2 Winchester M1s from the CMP. 1 Field Grade (830.00) and 1 Service Grade (930.00). Both rifles have nice metal but only a few Winchester parts. Winchester M1s have been selling for more than Springfields to Collectors because of their lower production. Because of your rifle having a majority of Winchester parts and without seeing the rifle in person, I would go along with Adg105200 in estimating it at the $1200-1500 range. A collector might possibly buy it for the parts to "correct" a nicer rifle. Condition-condition-condition. U D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
