Need some advice on a Springfield Garand :serial# 2300XXX (dec. 1943)
All original SA marked parts ,stock has the SA cartouche, crossed cannons, lock bar, first type gas cyl.screw, original sling, etc….
The only negative fact is the rifle has a (rebarreled) SA- 51 dated barrel!
It is not anymore a ww2-collectors rifle but which value can we still give this rifle?
Check the CMP site (http://www.odcmp.org) and see the prices for Rack, field and service grade rifles. Depending on condition you can decide.
There's good possibility that the barrel was an arsenal refurb after WWII. Of course there's also a decent chance that it wasn't.
Personally, I'd look at the rifle as a piece of history that can still function and be of use. But that's me, I don't have anything in the rack that can't throw lead when called upon to do so.
