I am liquidating an estate, and the above referenced rifle needs to be sold. The barrel and stock are in good condition and the bolt action is smooth and solid. No bayonet, however Is the an estimate out there of value for private sale?

Thank you.

I see prices for these all over the board unless there's something special anyone asking over $1,000 is in dreamland. The problem is this are just so plentiful unless you willing to take less it'll never sell. I see very good condition in the 900-1000 and it sounds like this might not quit be up to that. There's a place around me that has a warehouse of them selling your pick for $375. I would estimate it as a 650-700 if you want to sell it without time and hassles.

I welcome other people's enlightenment on these not my area of interest but just what I see happening.

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??

I dont' know crap about rifles, but I now know that this is A1 model, manufactured in 1935, right before the 1903 was retooled for an impending WWII. So, it's the last in line of the A1s. Nothing on it looks like it was ever changed and this is as manufactured. Former owner was either the old man, a WWII Army Air Force pilot, who was in artillery service before moving on the Air Corps, or his son, a Marine who was honorably discharged in 1969.

There is a tiny nick in the wood below the barrel and a hairline crack in the stock along the barrel. It's a beautiful piece that sat in a quilted case for many years.

I have a suggestion. If you are interested in purchasing the set, go to gunbroker.com, item #136824493 and bid $1700.00. (you'll have to register if you haven't done so, it's free) You will have met the reserve and probably win the bid and save $100.00 and still get free shipping to your FFL.
