Last year I bought a 4-digit reciever at auction, collected a bunch of early parts, GI walnut stock and handguards and an early complete trigger group. I sent it away to a good smith and had a Criterion barrel installed and everything parked to match. I didn't waste parts with decent original finish on this project. All the parts were servicable, most of them had 50% or less original finish and would have been tough to use on a restoration.


Now I have a lovely 4-digit gun for Garandicon matches. I need to attach a value to the thing in case it disappears. I have well over 1k in parts and labor and it is beautiful. But it probably has little appeal to a serious collector, it is simply neat because it has a low s/n and some nice early parts.


So what do we call this gun and what ballpark is the value?
