Dogface72 Posted June 26, 2021 Share #1 Posted June 26, 2021 I was trying to get an $ idea on this rifle, and thoughts appreciated, it is a mix master all Springfield with newer sights, repro stock, good condition and does not appear to have been fired since rebuild. No delusions I have had it 10 years but I have no idea what type of market exists. If it were original, I would think it would be valuable, it is not. I would like to know if the metal finish dates back to the 60's or if it is newer. I don't think is was done in the last 20 years, but I have no clue. One (1) M1 Garand Springfield .30 Cal. S/N 855XXX (Receiver dated to September 1942) Barrel date 4-1944. Rock River Arsenal Rebuild 1964. WWII Boyt sling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogface72 Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share #2 Posted June 26, 2021 Upon closer look the sling is marked "Milsco"? 1944 can't read it so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambo35 Posted June 28, 2021 Share #3 Posted June 28, 2021 $600.00 - $1,200.00. Depends on originality or time period correctness of the patina and all the parts, import stamp or not, proofing marks/stamps on the wood and of course, the condition of the wood. Hope this helps some. Chuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Story Posted June 28, 2021 Share #4 Posted June 28, 2021 No import marks? Bore good? Your area (VA), north of $1,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogface72 Posted June 28, 2021 Author Share #5 Posted June 28, 2021 Thanks, no import marks. I don't have a gauge, but appears well worn.... Maybe a rebuilt CMP rifle, not sure if you can still pay to have them check the S/N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Posted June 30, 2021 Share #8 Posted June 30, 2021 Muzzle is not worn from the picture. If not import marked and bore is not pitted its easily a $1000 rifle in todays market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1563621 Posted June 30, 2021 Share #9 Posted June 30, 2021 Go for the CMP doc. there were loads of welded receivers back then. Yours looks pretty nice! 1000+ easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceCanfield Posted June 30, 2021 Share #10 Posted June 30, 2021 Actually it's Red River Arsenal, later Red River Army Depot, near Texarkana, TX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
268th C.A. Posted June 30, 2021 Share #11 Posted June 30, 2021 These rifles are going up in value like anything with inflation. I haven't been too a show anywhere and seen a Garand on a table like this for less than $1200. usually around $1500. asking price. JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Dentino Posted June 30, 2021 Share #12 Posted June 30, 2021 I would concur with everyone's posts so far.....this is a $1200-$1500 rifle all day long these days. Glad I picked up mine several years ago for what I thought was a steep price of $600! This one looks like a nice shooter, and as far as being a "mixmaster" that is no big deal as 99.9% of them are because of their service lives and use.

Brian Dentino Posted June 30, 2021 Share #15 Posted June 30, 2021 Can you take a picture of the metal clasps on the sling? If it is original 1944 Milsco then it is in GREAT shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogface72 Posted June 30, 2021 Author Share #16 Posted June 30, 2021 1903 Mark I Springfield 1196XXX S/N and a 11-20 barrel date. I think this one is more original. This was purchased (not by me, but I have the cert.) thru the CMP 2009. Best I can tell it was rebuilt at least 1 time, probably more. I think the SN is in line with the barrel date. Not as popular as the M1. Any idea if this rifle is appreciating? Another Milsco 44 sling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogface72 Posted June 30, 2021 Author Share #17 Posted June 30, 2021 Slings are marked Milsco 1944 at each clasp. These slings came out of a WWI vet's basement. He had them on 1917 Enfields, that I believe were purchased thru the DCM back in the 50's or 60's. I have to assume they are original WWII slings.

I'm sure someone may think the lighter colored sling is a repro, it is not they are identical. The darker one was lightly used, the other possibly unissued. The vet passed away years ago and his daughter was living in the house until she went to assisted living (she never married) The daughter appointed a family friend to empty the house when they were located. The daughter (90 years old) and the family friend (70 year of age) said no one was near this stuff for 40-50 years, therefore I concluded they are not repro. Additionally, the metal has the same patina. I would think the slings are worth $100.00 a piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collectors would really go crazy for those if they were marked Boyt....I paid $150 for my minty Milsco '44 a number of years ago....I would expect $150+ for yours....Bodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Dentino Posted July 1, 2021 Share #20 Posted July 1, 2021 Awesome slings as well.....great rig all around. I would concur with Bodes, the slings alone would be $150+ at a show in that condition. Very, very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
