Hello. I was wondering what the price on this 'package' might be.
Its a Springfield M1 Garand. Looking at the Ser # and some online sources, it's suppose to be Feb of 1945. It was stored in an armory back east. Being an armory gun, this Garand fell pray to the disassembly, reassembly (so nothing is 'original' in that sence). Original barrel scratched brass on ejection, so new barrel put (as in new old factory barrel, 50's). Wood looks like it was refinished?, but long ago. Metal looks good, would rate 80%-85% and has flash hider (not sure if 'original') and green sling. Has a box, a bandoleer (spelling) and 40 8round clips.
It's been check out by a gunsmith, that's why a 'new' barrel was installed.
summery:
*WWII M1 Garand (1945)
*'new' barrel (old one still w/ it)...so 'extra' barrel
*comes w/ 40 clips
*80% finish on metal
*wood looks redone, but okay to good
*sling (not leather)..
*bandoleer (what the loaded clips stay on)
What would that package be worth.
