Yesterday I went to our local gun show. Took my M-1 Garand in hopes of selling at a profit.
Every vendor I showed it to, wanted to buy. I would have made a very good profit on the sell.
I just could not bring myself to sell this great piece of history. So I've decided, to attempt to bring this rifle as close to "correct" as I can.
All the parts are in very good shape.
My receiver is a S.A. SN-22XXXXX. From the Net, I place the date around Nov/Dec 1943.
The bolt is a S.A., SN D28287-2 SA C13, which also from the Net is placed at June to March 1942.
The barrel is a S.A. stamped 7-45.
All three of the above are in very good shape.
My thought is to go Springfield Armory as far as possible.
The paper I got from the first owner after buying from CMP back in "89" says the weapon is graded at 80%.
As the post says, Where do I start with this project..
Thanks for any help.
