| Nevermind found the info I needed. |
| I'm fairly new to Garands myself so I can't give you an estimate on the value of that particular rifle but you might want to check out the CMP site http://www.thecmp.org/m1garand.htm If you don't mind waiting a few months for an M1 then you can order one or drive to one of the stores if you want it right away (North Store would be closer since you live in VA and it is in OH) but you can get a Service Grade for about $600 which is far less than the cost of an ACOG. |

Receiver made Oct 1944.
Barrel dated Nov 1944 (good match, probably original) bolt group D28287-12SA in use Mar 1942 - roughly Jul 1944 trigger housing D28290-12-SA Dec 1942 - Aug 1944 hammer C46008-7 SA in use Jul 1944 - Mar 1945 Op rod D35382 9 SA in use Nov 1943 - Jan 1945, IF it's a curved op rod (complicated to explain, looks like it is) Post WWII rear sight DRC To be correct, the stock should have an S.A. over a GAW in a box on the left side (could also be an S.A. over an NFR, the receiver was right on the dividing line between the two). Looks like most of the major parts are correct for the receiver/barrel combo. Does NOT mean it's original, could be someone parted it back together. Don't know how much an ACOG goes for off the top of my head, but I'd probably pay somewhere between $800-$900 for this rifle, maybe more if the barrel's in good condition (not pitted out, frosted, etc.) |
