wow ,,thats intresting about the warehous full of them for your choice at 375 ea are they us gi m1 garands ?anyways heres my take on garands ,,springfield made the most so there the most common,,but things you have to take into concideration are ..is it all matching springfield parts? every major part of a m1 garand was stamped with the makers proof marks and drawing numbers from the original spec drawings ,, springfield will have SA-2627-something or a grouping like that and the trigger housing ,op rod ,and when you pull the bolt back and it locks open look in the grove in the wood where the op rod travels ,,the barrel should have a sa-XXX-19?? ,, that translates into SA= springfield armory,,xxxx drawing number and date,,i know these rifles and i wish i had the cash i'd but a truck load from that warehouse and make a small fortune on them selling parts and complete rifles ,,another thing to look for is an import mark ,,this will proably be near the end of the barrel on usually the left side ,, may say blue sky or something ,,may also be on the right side very small,,if it's import stamped it's less than one that isn't imports are bringing about what the scorcher valued it at,,if it's an all correct parts springfield of ww2 vintage i don't see a problem with 1000 depending on serial number and correctness,,the stock may have a cartouch and if it does it will help with the value especially if it's the corect marks for the year and armory,,so garands can be worth 1000+easily to garand collectors just depending how correct it is and overall condition some can reach the 1500-2000 mark,,there very simple to dissasemble to check part numbers go to fulton armory.com and they will show you how to do it,,also another good site is the cmp CAMP PERRY SITE FOR INFORMATION,,hey scorcher where is that warehouse??
