    Who gives a damn what he's buying!? He did not ask you guys to sort out of its original or not. Just a price on a stated item, that's assumed good.

    Give a price for an original 1944 garand.

    I don't understand why authenticity even matters! He's not requesting that you authenticate a rifle.
    He isn't asking for advice. A simple rough estimate on value.

    I don't know garands at all. I...

    Those are really nice.

    I am far from even knowledgeable about japanese rifles, but i think the long one is a type 38. The shorter one is definitely a type 99.

    I rotated them. They dont seem to tilt in any direction. If it makes any difference this was 150gr Federal Premium soft point. Only option the store had that day.

    Pics of lugs and empty cases. The brass looks slightly expanded, not sure if this is normal, for and enfield or good or bad. Any insight is appreciated. Hopefully last owner gets back to me and tells...

    Pictured below is the only issue I could find with receiver. Not sure if this would earn it a ZF, it is irreparable receiver damage and it can jam if cycled to quick.

    Didn't mean anything by making such a low end comparison, just illustrating how easy it is to change that component.

    How would a ZF marked rifle escape repair or destruction?

    Agreed, seems like a stupid place to mark something. Like marking a car unfit for the road on the tire.......

    And yes, I know the green doesnt add to anything, was just something I liked.

    I took the rifle down to inspect it. I cant find any faults. The last owner, he is a massive gun business owner, and long time collector, (owner of Marstar) said the head space is good. I checked...
