I don't know about the barrel but I think the handguard in the right (green tint) has the corret ferrule.

Well said.

Consider a restoration that may have a correct receiver, numbered butt plate, rear sight, bolt, internals, op-rod, stock hardware and trigger group. Add to that a Barnett or Ratworx...

Holy Toledo!

It sure looks right. If it's for real it went for about 1/6 what it's worth.

All the Denver stuff is corrosive so be aware of that if you fire it.

The community has suffered a great loss. Rest in peace.

A really cool way to see Garand's intended ejection plan. The forward-moving op-rod boss is supposed to strike the case and throw it forward.

I found this place as a result of the Jouster hosting and I stuck around after they left. That may be an interesing poll as well.

Thanks, I will check those places. I expect to pay for a professional appraisal.
A free one would hardly hold water for the insurance man....:lol:

This is pretty much where I start with a rifle having an unknown zero. Sometimes I will start at 50 yards with about 6 clicks up. If the rifle is on the paper with a decent group that is off to one...

I have a couple rare and presumably valuable Garands and I need a stated value for my insurance man. Rifles like these rarely change hands so there isn't much to draw on from that standpoint. I know...

Agreed on all points. The numbered band easily may be incorrect but it certainly looks good. Of course the vertical ear sight is also incorrect. I do have a low 4 digit receiver and a top-stamped D...

It's my creation Mike.

The receiver is 16568 and is unmodified.
D 35382-0 slant cut op-rod (field cut, oh well)
D 28287-1 bolt (round pin)
D 28290 large pad trigger housing
C 46025 concentric...

Correct Robert...As always.

And he does shoot......

One of Gene Barnett's 12 sets from the late 1990s.

His brother is in this shot.

Here's another.

Take a peek at this....

Other than being re-parked this receiver has all the other early attributes, including low ribs, except for the circular cut. I have three 4 digit receivers and one 16,000 receiver, all of which are...

Here is a 5 digit 11,000 range gas trap receiver with something I have not seen before. All the other low-numbered receivers I have owned/seen have a totally flat op-rod rail. This one has the later...

If you are not planning to do anything with that pile I would like to buy your stock ferrule and long butt plate screw. :D I guess I like :bash:

Yes, actually it does. In this case the rifle is shootable, as opposed to all the other copies out there.

:lol:

I thought the top one was an early SA until I caught the title....:thup:

Rick you may want to use a more generic name for your next photo When you pass the mouse over the photo it says "Win safety early".:)

The A4s auctioned by CMP are indeed real ones. Recent offerings have had scope bases only and have been both scant and "C" stocks.

I recently studied the closed auctions and the highest price...

It was five out of the magazine in less than two minutes. The barrel was warm at the beginning. I fired five rounds at the 200 yard gong before I put it on paper. The five at the gong was fired in...

That group was off the bench with 1969 Lake City M2 ball. When our High Power matches start up again later this spring I plan to take it one day and shoot some of my M1 match handloads through it...

Very.

It's 707, 180 apart.
