Hi everyone,
This is my first time on the forum. I have a chance to buy a Springfielsd Armory M1 Garand in great condition and I have a few questions. The gentleman who owned the rifle passed away so I have no information on it.
First off is the serial number. It's in the 7,000,000 range. From what I can tell the serial numbers ended in the 6 millions so what am I looking at?
Second, the windage adjustment on the rear sight seems to be Korean era and the trigger guard seems to be WW2 style.
Third, the barrel doesn't have a serial number, it just has Geneseo, ILL stamp on the barrel where the serial number should be.
Fourth, what is it worth and is it an original Garand or a more recent manufacture?
Thanks
