need help evaluating the correctness of my garand and possible resale value

[steelrain82]

ok so i took a look at everything on my m1 today and im trying to see if it would be considered proper and what the value would be "if" i was ever to sell it. my receiver is in the 2.8 mil area,which puts it at 1944. but the barrel is marked s-a-3-42.
i looked everything up on this website Springfield Armory WWII Production if there is another site with all the info i can be directed to i would appreciate it.

ok here is all the proper parts for the serial number and year:

op rod catch, follower assembly, sights, lower band, trigger housing, trigger, and bullet guide.

the parts that are from the previous serial number blocks are:

safety: c46015-6sa. the proper part should be SA-11

follower arm: has single bevel. the proper part should be no bevel

Hammer: c46008-3sa. the proper part shoul be c46008-5sa

the follower rod belongs to the next range of numbers as it has the long fork. the proper part should be short fork.

the bolt is an afterwar production. marked 6528287-sa a-10

the op rod is marked d35382-8 sa curved. the proper part should be d35382-9 sa curved

A lot of value would depend on barrel condition -Throat and Muzzle erosion. It sounds like a nice service grade rifle. Stock would also play a huge part in value.
