M1 Garand's Winchester Receivers / General M1 questions

[nra-life-member]

Have some M1 Garands with Winchester Receivers (WWII I believe). Any site recommendations that I can look at to determine the approx values of these. Not all parts are Winchester and I'm a novice with Garands compared to other firearms.

Rebuilt Winchester-based M1's do bring a slight premium. The more Winchester-parts the better.

Just asked a friend, all winchester parts around 1500 (good condition)
I bought mine for 350 about 12yrs or so ago.

This will get you started as to value: http://thecmp.org/cmp_sales/rifle_sales/m1-garand/

Some grading criteria:

1. Matching or non-matching parts.
2. Receiver manufacturer (IHC's are at a slight premium)
3. Year of manufacture (WW2 have a slight premium)
4. Stock with cartouches
5. Muzzle and Throat wear (this requires two tools to measure)
6. Lock Bar rear sight have a premium

Are they Excel or Blue Sky imports, sir?

They are not.

A Winchester receiver with it's original Winchester barrel would be highly desirable as the other parts to make it 'correct' can still be found, but most Winny's saw hard use and were rebarreled.

You the man. Thank you.

Also I found some Military training films on the 30 Cal M1.
