Over the weekend I looked at a Garandicon in the 390000 range (SA barrel 11-41). I don't have my notes in front of me, but as I remember, the major components (barrel, bolt, un-cut op rod, trigger group, etc) were all correct and it still had the seal on the front sight screw and the single slot gas lock screw. It had a Britishicon proof on the barrel (lend-lease?) but nowhere else that I could find. The bore looked good and the muzzle looked fine (didn't have any gauges). The wood had been replaced with what looked like birch - light colored. The receiver drawing # was -14, but the books I looked at said it should be -13 under #400,000. Are these ser. # ranges just approximations? I saw no evidence of a reweld. What do you think this rifle would be worth in maybe 60% condition with replaced wood?
