A friend wants to part with a Winchester Garand with serial number ranger 158xxx.
from the pics he sent me, it has a springfield bolt, .308 barrel, NM rear sight, no markings on the stock.
I haven't seen it in person so I don't know about the OP rod, trigger group, ect.
He really doesn't know the history on it. He purchased it a long time ago for a gift for his father in law. When the FIL passed away, the rifle was returned to him.
The condition looks to be really nice. No pitting that I can see above the stock and the parkerizing looks really good.
Any thoughts on value? I really wouldn't be interested much if it weren't for the Winchester receiver.
Gunbroker is all over the place.
Rebarreled to .308 makes it hard to for me to really value. (Changed from re-chambered).
Thanks.
Edit:
Additional information reveals that the gun is bedded and may have been used for competition.
