hello,,need to know who made the parts before i can tell ya a good price for them..the barrel sounds like possibly an italian replacement ,,there worth around 100-150 bucks if it's not shot out ,,take a 30 cal military round and see how far the bullet will go into the bore 1/8" or better means the muzzel is still pretty tight ,,people will want to know the TE and ME before they buy barrels ,,TE stands for throat erosion,,this is the amount wear the throat of the chamber has ,,no way to tell this unless you have a throat guage ,,anything below a 3 is excellent above a 6 is questionable,,the ME is muzzel erosion and thats what i told you you can check with a military round,,these 2 measurments will give you a rough idea of how much life and how accurate the barrel still is ,,,,
,,,now the bolt should have a number on it like D2829-1#-maker or something like that ..with mabey different letters ..or numbers starting with D652891-#-maker if memory serves me correct,,the 2829 number is usually ww2 and the 652891 number is usually post ww2 ,,SA is springfield ,,WRA is winchester,,HRA is harrington and richardson,,IHC is international harvester,,these were the 4 major US manufactures and most parts will have one of these manufactures stamped on them somewhere or somehow .. bolts will also have heat lot numbers which usually are stamped under the drawing numbers and usually have a diamond beside them,,any parts marked with a BM are most likely italian replacement parts ,,and not as desirable as US parts unless your trying to restore one of the italian garands ,,US bolts can sell for 50-100+ and mabey more if a special heat treat number is needed or certain revision number ,,the revision number will the number following the drawing number ,,trigger housings will have the left side marked in a way simular to the bolts with d-2829-#-maker initials ..and internal parts of the TG will also carry the makers mark and a number,,TG's with all complete matching makers identifying marks can bring 75-150+,,if mismatched mabey 50-100 depending who made the housing itself,,so with garand parts the maker of the parts is very important when determining the value of the parts ,,italian TG'S with matching parts inside could sell for around 100 bucks or more depending on the buyer..
