Gentleman, I started collecting Garands about a year ago when I purchased a 12-41 SA reciever (connected to a 51 Barrel) at a gun show. Im up to 4 rifles now and counting. I have built the 41 up piece by piece to be SN correct and have reached the point where Im short just a few things, the infamous Flush-nut sights assembly (almost impossible to find) and the SA/GHS stock (Which I just havn't worked up the nerve to pay that much for). Just today I recieved the correct barrel which I recently bought online, the throat mesures a 7 (not great) and the muzzle fails the bullet test. Here is the question, which is more important for collectors if I sold it one day? The accuracy of the barrel (as far as shooting)? or having the correct matching barrel for the rifles reciever? Thanks for your answers in advance.
