The point is you don't know that the parts, other than the stock, gas cylinder and elevation knob, are correct or not. The fact that the Pawn Broker / Garand Collector is the "most knowledgable person you know locally" really says nothing to his knowledge or honesty. I have been involved with M1 garands for about 50 years but I would not lay out $ 2500.00 for a rifle like this without the opinion of some KNOWN experts. In fact a few have already commented on this post. But as others have said, you have to give them more to work with. Re-read the reply you got from Rick B. and try and answer some of the questions he posed.
Also, why will he not allow you to take pictures ???
