[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 2510317, member: 7157"] If this is the same rifle as in your WTS ad, then without knowing the amount of wear and erosion present in the muzzle and throat, the value could be anywhere from $500 to $900. The Danish (not Dutch) provenance doesn't help the value, though - it can actually be a detriment since the S/N's on the stock don't match the receiver's S/N, nor is the barrel one of the VAR-marked issues known for their accuracy. Is there a S/N written on the piece of paper in the barrel channel? If so, does it match the receiver's S/N? That could help a [I]little[/I] bit. With average muzzle wear (say between 2-3) and throat erosion (4-6), I'd say $700 would be a fair estimate, and you could get a bit more if you take it to Wanenmacher where you'd see a lot of Garand aficionados. If that barrel's production date had been within a couple months of the receiver's born-on date of April 1944, you could have gotten considerably more. As it is, if the barrel has low miles on it, you could get more if you part out the rifle since the barrel alone could fetch you $300+ depending on wear and if the chamber is in the white and the gas pad is not chromed. If you have more questions, I'd be happy to try and answer them. If you don't know anyone with the proper gauges for measuring the barrel wear, or who has a USGI M2 ball cartridge, I can meet you in town to do the measurements for you. Good luck with your sale!
