M1 Garand current value

[mpmax]

I've had my CMP service grade M1 Garand for 25 odd years and am considering selling it to fund a new Colt Python. It's a Springfield Armory six digit receiver re-arsenal'd in 1947. the walnut stock which is stamped from the Benicia Arsenal in Sonoma, California and the Mt. Rainier depot at Ft. Lewis. I haven't shot it in years, and would rather have a new Python. How is the market on Garands?

Photos and information regarding muzzle and throat erosion readings, any import marks, pitting or cracks would be very useful here.

Last one l sold was also a six digid roughly 250k, it had a new SA-52 barrel but the rest was a mix of WWll and post war parts, it went for $1400 on consignment.

Shooters are still hovering around $1400 depending on location will go up not down. Should be good trade fodder towards a Python PAX.

I've had my CMP service grade M1 Garand for 25 odd years and am considering selling it to fund a new Colt Python. It's a Springfield Armory six digit (Nov. '42) receiver that was completely re-arsenal'd in 1947. Every part other than the receiver is correct for 1947,(barrel is SA '47) including the walnut stock which is stamped from the Benicia Arsenal in Sonoma, California. I haven't shot it in years, and would rather have a new Python. How is the market on Garands?

Good job in asking what they are selling for instead of listing at double its value like some people do.

LOL....
List it as a "TRADE."
But within the ad.....
State that you're open to any reasonable cash offer (via PM).

Aloha, Mark

Solano County, California

The arsenal is most famous for supplying munitions to Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Doolittle for the first bombing raid on Tokyo on April 18, 1942, launched from the USS Hornet.

I'd keep an old Garand over a NEW Python, now an old Python I can see.

and yeah...

I sold a CMP Service Grade 1943 SA rebuilt with a 50's H&R replacement barrel for $1400 early last year. It had new CMP wood on it when I sold it and had a ME and TE of 1+.

Gunbroker "advanced" search you can look at "completed" auctions...that's usually my go to to try and figure out the value of a firearm because it is actually sold prices, not just listed ones. Plus, it's easier to find one or more that more closely match your firearm you are looking to sell. Hope that is helpful!

I've got a Winchester March '44 I think. It's here 5th one down. I got it because it was a Winchester. PAX

Nice shape. Should be a $1300-1400 rifle. What is interesting is at least the stock has spent time up and down the west coast at arsenals. Prices are still dropping so I wouldn't wait too long if I was trying to get rid of it in the near future.
