| I'm looking at a m1 garand Springfield with a 3.5 million serial number with a barrel date 12 44 but the stock only has a P and a DoD cartouche which are on the 5 million serial number range. Thoughts? |

Quoted: probably the simplest answer is the stock isn't original. you almost never find a M1 that has all the same parts that it had when it came off the assembly line. CMP rifles are all pretty much mixmasters. |
| it really depends on the condition -- the bore, muzzle wear, throat erosion. Service grades from the CMP were going for $625 until they pretty much sold out recently. I would expect to pay at least $800 t0 $1200 in a gun store or on gunbroker for a wartime rilfe with an original barrel in decent shape. |
