Questions from a newbie!

[FRST]

Hi guys, Tim here from NZ. Just joined the site. Been collecting Garand stuff for a few years here in New Zealand.
I've got a couple of questions for the good folks on this site,

1. Just bought a Garand barrel, marked 2-S-A-1-43, drawing number D35449-16-R-109B. It is a two groove. I've had a gunsmith and a NZ army armourer check it out (for the 1903 barrel in a Garand barrel stub issue) -both confirmed it was one piece. What would the US value be?

2. Just bought a lockbar for my rear sight on a 41 dated Garand. The lockbar thread is way bigger (slides over in fact) the pinion. Did the longer pinion eventually adopted have a larger diameter?

Cheers -Tim
