Would be interested in any input. I have been interested in getting a M1icon Garand for target shooting along also as a longterm value. This M1 is available at an estate sale it also has a M1 Bayonet. The gun has been taken to a gunsmith and no issues were found.
From some of the serial numbers from a quick look over and checking out dates.
July 1942 Springfield 705283
Barrel upside down S-A-6-42
August 1943 Bolt D28287-12SA S-06<>
Rear sight Post War style
Trigger 6528290-SA Post War stamped style
The stock I don't see any stamps on it except P inside square I read that was from San Antonio Arsenal
Canvas sling with inside by the loop has looks like name of Matt 1953 in ink scratched in

Would be interested in value on this Garand to see if it is in their asking price. For the history aspect I'm interested in the date when it was manufactured and owning a piece of history. Also when they went in for refitting and overhauls would they replace the stocks if they couldn't be repaired. Thank you for any input
