Hi folks,

I inhereted a few M1 Garands, i love them but i have no idea what they are worth and would love to at least have an idea. Hopefully someone can help me establish a value. I will provide whatever information you need, but my experiance here is very limited and i only have the information that was on a small note with each rifle.

I have 3 m1 garands,

the first:
Its labelled as a matching numbers "correct" EMcf M1 * shoots beautiful groups*

The second:

Matching numbers SA with competition heavy barrel .308 and custom fit CMP stock set. * shoots amazing groups*

The third:

matching numbers "correct" H&R high serial # *shoots beautiful groups, perfect shooter*

As i said, im sure there is MUCH more information needed to value these rifles, i will provide some pictures when i get home from work today. Is there some sort of specific shots i need to take in order to help out with determining value?

Thanks for any help that can be offered, and hopefully we can determine a value for them.

heres some pics at random.

Oh and the H&R is labelled incorrectly, its a high # SA

For Garand pricing I use the CMP pricing and descriptions for values since that is what I can purchase them for. "Beautiful groups" is subjective and means different things to different people. Proof of shot groupings with measurements are a better way to describe how well the rifle shoots at certain distances. The CMP uses throat erosion as the guide for grading. In regards to the H&R, I had a 1954 M1 and it was quite a shooter for me, used it in NRA highpower matches and it did everything I asked it to. Good luck on getting prices.

I agree! Are you trying to sell or buy? If I was going to buy, I would definitely hit CMP up first. If you are selling, hold on to them if you can for a few more years until the surplus dries up. Today is a buyers market. The pictures don't show if the weapons are correct grade or service grade. Expect only $650-1500 for them without more detailed pictures.

If you wish to sell I suggest that you wait until after the election. If Obama wins again there will be panic buying and values will skyrocket as fools over purchase preparing for a apocalypse. If you wish to purchase ammo, I suggest that you do so to miss the panic purchases and empty shelves that were so common 4 years ago.

Those are nice rifles. I would say at least $1000 apeace!!
Go on to GunBroker.com and look around, those are not CMP rifles and they are very collectable. I wish I had them, good luck

Would guesstimate $800 and up. That is about the cheapest you will find one today. Have any more info on the one converted to 308?

thanks for all the great info fellas.

Im a black rifle kind of guy so these older ones are interesting but just not my cup of tea.

I agree that the gun craze will happen if obama is re-elected, but i dont see that election actually happening so im willing to roll the dice a bit here considering i have absolutely no room in my safe.

those prices all seem low to me considering how gorgeous they are, but i suppose thats the reality of the market these days.

as far as the .308, what other info would be useful? I dont really know a whole lot about it but would be happy to look at specific things for you.

Yep, he sure did sell a lot of guns the first time around! And ammo also.
