M1 Garand Questions
Hi Guys, I posted my carbine so I figured it would be a good time to learn about my Garand as well. Can you guys let me know what you think and if it's a pretty good rifle. The few things I know (or more accurately, think I know) are the things I've done. The pic has a WRA bolt in it but I have an S-A1 bolt in it now. The other thing I did is change the oprod. A few guys spooked me because it originally had an SA uncut rod in it. I put this rod in the safe and purchased a WWII coded "cut" oprod. Everything else is WWII SA. I just told you all I know about this rifle.
Here's the pics. (I was told to distort the final 3 serial numbers.

Nice rifle! It has post war rear sights, and the stock looks like a HRA. Are there any cartouches on it, or a letter "P" stamped under the pistol grip? Barrel date? Thanks or showing us,
Charlie

Barrel date is 12-44. P behind trigger guard

So, it's a 2 million or what? You have a shadow of a cartouche on the stock at the rear left under the reciever tail. The rest looks like standard stuff.

What's the "or what"? I guess I don't get the post.

He means the serial #, if that photo and the last 3 digits aren't Photoshopped it really devalues the receiver. Personally I've never agreed with distorting a firearm serial #, been a cop for 33 years, I have the proper paperwork, it seems some get very paranoid to show those things.
Also as for the uncut op rod, the value depends on the make and the control number, I have one (D35382-6 SA), someone with more technical experience can give you a better explanation, but the lower the number after the dash the more it's worth, but you only talking maybe $40-50 dollars. Please post if I'm way off base here.

I explained in the original post that I photoshopped the last 3 numbers. I don't even know why but a couple people told me that's best to do.

Sorry, I should have remembered that.

VERY nice looking Garand, Mossy. Maybe someone who's current with prices can give you an approximate value if you can post photos of your bolt and op rod with numbers.
As far as posting serial numbers, I've never covered mine up and I've never heard of anyone ever having a problem, but I think it's up to the person's personal feelings.
