M1 Garand Value

troutcreek · January 30, 2013, 11:16 PM

Hello,
I have a DCM M1 Garand that I would like to sell to a friend. Can someone give me an approximate value? The condition is military issue, without problems.
Best to all.

You need a lot more information to give an accurate value. Garand values vary wildly according to the parts they have and condition. If it's just a sale to a friend and your not trying to get market value, $800 or $850 would pry be a common value for a Garand in nice shape. To get an accurate price you'll need to post more pictures and supply more info. Stock cartouches, barrel date and manufacturer, receiver S/N range and manufacturer, op rod drawing number and if its cut, pic of the top of the gas cylinder, bolt numbers, and picture of the trigger assembly and all the numbers on the parts. There's more and more that can be considered, but that's the big stuff. It just depends how accurate you want to be. Muzzle wear and throat erosion are also a big deal when assessing value. Hope this helps.

Mike,
I think that I'll keep this simple and let him have it for $600. Thank you for the information.

$600-650 is a fair price, you would get more at a gun show but may not be worth the extra work.

Very true.

If the Garand is all International Harvester, or all Winchester, parts, buy it. Look for IHC on the marked parts, or WRA.

I forget what barrels IHC’s used, but they are not marked IHC.

Anyway, if the rifle is all correct IHC or WRA you have hit the jackpot.

He's looking to sell, not buy.

Prices on M1 Garand's can be all over the map. Condition is very important, and a recent sale was over $9K while others are in the $500 dollar range. This page may help you find a comparable rifle to help you price yours: GunStockMarket M1 Garand Sales.

OOPs!

People sell their guns?, that does not compute!

I thought the whole idea was to get more guns.
