    What's It Worth? *MORE PICS*













    Barrel Mark

    Op Rod Codes

    Receiver Codes

    Rear right sight

    Trigger housing codes

    Cartouche stamp

    RRA cartouche is on the left side of the pistol grip.

    If, if I wanted to sell it, what would it be worth?

    Let me know if you need more pics or w/e.

    Thanks,
    Jason

    $200-300. But I'll give you $400 and even pick it up.







    j/k. I would guess in the $800-900 range? I thought you had a 4-digit serial number, but your masking faked me out.

      Any idea as to muzzle and throat erosion? That can affect the price quite a bit. If you don't want to shell out for the gauges, you could probably find someone on these boards who has one, or take it to a gunsmith who will likely gauge it for free.

      Assuming the barrel isn't shot-out and there isn't any rust that we aren't seeing, I would say it's worth $800-$1,000 in today's market. A dealer like Turner's would probably price it around $1,200 on consignment.

      EDIT: the blanked-out S/N faked me out, too. Anyway, I'm not sure how many extra digits you are covering up so here's a site where you can date your rifle, just in case you hadn't looked this up before:

      Your Source for Service Rifles: M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, M14 / M1A & AR Types


      But I'd say keep it!

        If I'm doing it right the serial number tells me this was made early-mid December of 1938.

            It's a 2 million range, correct? If so barrel is in the range of the s.n. working from memory, stock is marked Red River Arsenal for a rebuild or overhaul. Looks like a usual service grade which goes about $600 which is a good deal.

              How's the match-up of the drawing numbers on the rest of the parts?
              Need pic's of the right side of the rear sight.
              Pic's of the op rod where the round part meets the squared off part.
              Also need the info from the right front of the reciever.

                If you just post those pics and offer it for sale I would guess 700-800 for a fair chance at an easy sale. More than that you might get and you might not and it would probably take longer. We are in a recession here, it does make a difference unfortunately. The only thing I would suggest is if you have one place a bullet in the muzzle for a poor mans MW gauge and clean up the bore so the buyers can see it in its bright and shiny state. It would help with the sale and probably make a few bucks difference.

                  going by the pics and the rifle looks and depending on the bolt drawing number and the trigger housing drawing number as well as the op rod numbers.. $650- $750 and that will also depend on the muzzle wear and throat erosion.

                    700.00 maybe more to someone who really wants it bad.

                      So posting these additional photos didn't change anything?
