Hi Milsurpnutz,
Any ideas of the value of this H&R Garand. as you can see the stock is not pretty has a couple of let in strips of wood to repair and the top piece of stock is cracked but the spring clip holds it closed. It shoots really well, I have only put 3 boxes of 150 gr bullets thru. The bore is shiney I don't know if it measures good or not. sorry for huge pics!
Thanks

The op rod, the internals the heels of the receiver the gas plug screw inside of the stock everything that makes that garand
 
oh the serial number too so i can tell you when its was made and all. you can blur out some of the numbers but leave the 4 first numbers. w.e number you see on any part document those too
 
It looks like one of those $650 Garands brought in a couple years ago in fair to good condition.
Some Garands are rode hard and put away wet. Some have pitting and worn finish. Condition is everything.

Looks like it used to mount the grenade launcher sight - left side by the receiver. Although it seems to have been mounted twice as the mount only used two screws.
 
The old Garand will be worth whatever someone is wiling to pay. I know that doesn't help much, but nearly any Garand will bring $700+.

To the the Garand collector, this, that, and everything else has to be just so. To a person that wants a Garand to own and shoot, yours would do just fine. I have a homely old 1942 Springfield Armory that would likely cause some people to jump out the window, but it never lets me down. :)

cmon im willing to risk it lets see your 42 garand
 
M1: Harrington & Richardson was assigned serial number ranges 4660001 through 4800000, 5488247 through 5793847, and 400 rifles numbered from 6034330 through 6034729. The major components, such as the barrel, bolt, hammer, operating rod, safety, and trigger housing were stamped with a numeric drawing number and the manufacturer's initials. Harrington & Richardson rifles are marked HRA on all marked parts except the receivers, which were stamped H&R ARMS CO.[11]
 
Each make of the Garand has it'd devotees. The HRA ones are very well regarded, altho they don't have the historical appeal of the WW2 Springfields and Winchesters. In terms of manufacturing quality, the ranking of US made Garands among collectors is generally HRA first, then Springfield, then IHC, followed by Winchester. The fact is that they all passed Gov't inspection checks.

The Italian Breda and Berettas are right up there in terms of quality, although few US Garand fans would admit it.
 
Thank you all for the replies. It usually attracts attention at the range, especially when it goes "PING". I kinda like the condition of it, looks like it should I think.(not that I would'nt like a shiney one too!) So I guess if a pristene one is 1800. and I'v never seen one less than 700. it must be worth around 1000. ish
