A few years back, I snagged a Navy Trophy for a grand, probably one of the best buys in Garands I have ever made, you have to opportunity to get a great buy to, don't drop the ball on it.
Just a decent run of the mill Garand is between 8 and 9 hundred now. |

I think so....... I helped the guy out and he needs money for Christmas, so I am going to FO.......and he is letting me pay over time, so it’s even better....... the stock was refinished at one time, but it’s a genuine NM in .30-06, so I figured I better jump now........ it will be mine this weekend Quote HistoryQuoted:

Well, after speaking to the guy, and looking at some pics, I am not sure its a National Match...............the op rod handle has "NM" but it's not marked anywhere else on the outside-on the barrel or side of the rear sight. The right rear sight has the lock bar, and the barrel has( at least the seller states it says) "vrb or brb Remington" on it...............the gun is in very good shape, and is probably still worth 1K, but he states he has the CMP papers, and the Serial number is in the 3 million range.............not knowing much about these guns, I am not sure what it is, but I am going to inspect it tomorrow
I know the 61 NM rifles had NM on the op rod handle.................the guy doesn't know anything else about it, so off we go to look at it |

Yeah.... It wasn't uncommon to use the NM op rods during later rebuilds of gi spec rifles. So it very well might not be a true NM rifle.

Good pass... If it was a legitimate NM rifle it's worth a grand. Anything less, which it sounds like this one is, isn't. If you want a Garand, go thru the CMP. Everyone and everywhere else will gouge you. Quote HistoryQuoted:

If you had a Garand that you bought from CMP many years ago for $500 and it would sell it for $500? , would you sell it for $750? You like anyone would sell it for what the going rate is Quote HistoryQuoted:

But if I were to buy a CMP rifle in person from an individual I'd expect to pay $50-150-ish more than the current going CMP rate for the privilege of a) seeing before getting it, b) having it that day, and c) not having to find my birth certificate and a notary. |

There are lots of features to look for in a true NM rifle- NM marked sights barrel op rod unitized front hand guard national match front sight oversized bedded stock often will have SN of rifle electric penciled in side trigger group and more I have probably forgotten.

OP there's plenty of well documented info on the web, search, read, read, and read some more. I got my CMP M1 service grade last year for $720 I think it was, it's all H&R parts minus the receiver which I think was a Springfield. I'd have to look to be sure. Look at how to tell the difference, if it's a mixed back of parts then I wouldn't give more for it than the current price of the equivalent grade you think it is.

But then again, I have dug out my birth certificate, gotten a notary, and crossed my fingers already...and been rewarded for doing so.

Well the lock bar sights are worth a few extra bucks assuming they’re not buggared.
I doubt it’s a NM rifle with lock bars though. Well unless it was a NM at one time and rebuilt as a rack rifle. An army build would have pulled the lock bars off. Likely just a parts gun or perhaps a civi built “match” rifle. ETA at least in the late years cmp wrote exactly which garand was on the certificate and receipt. If it doesn’t say NM there it’s a service, field or rack grade. |

National match rifles are stamped NM on the receiver back where the sn is.
All of the Garand rifles that I have seen recently at gun shows were priced at a grand or more, especially if they were Winchesters. |

Good pass, OP. With a 3 mil serial, it's just a regular service-type M1 with a NM Op rod from a rebuild. Could the barrel marking be VAR (i.e. Danish)? It kinda fits with the lockbar sights.

Before shelling out any cash for a NM Garand you need to do research. There are two types, Type I and Type II . These are also easy to fake , I would not buy a NM rifle without documentation.
The example posted above is a $4000 rifle |
