The Garand in Grandpa's closet.

[user name]

So, a good friends Stepdad passed down a Garand to him. He is a modern gun guy so he asked me to check out the M1 for him

First off it has a WW2 gasplug!
The rifle lands at the muzzle are prominent
The barrel is dated to the reciever

The stock has crisp cartouches

The oprod is uncut
The rifle has been bedded

Where is the best place to get a clear value on this relic.

Pictures will help immensely. It can range any where from $500 on up to a couple of grand depending on what, exactly it is. Being bedded, it COULD be a National Match model, or it could be a home brewed accurizing job. It has a WWII gas plug--BFD, so do millions of others. Uncut op rod--not uncommon either. We need pictures and studious and copious notes to even begin to give you a value.

If there is no bedding material on the inside of stock where the receiver legs contact its more than likely a worn stock that went through a rebuild. Bedding material was commonly added where the trigger group sets to aid in lock up and salvage the stock.
Need to listall he drawing numbers of parts and serial number to see how original it is along with a picture of the stock cartouch and bedding

Pics pls. Don't take it apart of fiddle-fhart around with it and take above guys advice. Nice piece anyway you look at it. Odds of it being Grandpa's prize scheutzenboomer worth several grand are slim.

Ww2 gas plug? Pics as previously mentioned, please. Include numbers on the parts that have them for a better evaluation. Also, include stamps on stock; particularly the left hand side near the receiver.

Ww2 gas plug? .

I suppose the OP meant a solid single slot gas screw although the cross slot poppet style was also used during WWII

You should post this on the CMP forum website. They are the experts on Garands.

I think some M1 Garand guys are having chest pains reading this thread.

[Mac Attack]

Nice family heirloom. I hope your buddy doesn't sell it or trade it for a AR as I am sure his Grandfather thought highly of it just like all other M1 owners.

Nice Garand with many correct early parts. How about the cartouche on the stock???
