First- I do not buy it as a collectible. Yes, i did purchase, like you, Garand at $350 and sold them for $1000 a few year after. What make you think that the JRA Garand will not hike in price at the same rate ( even better) than a beater Garand ? A like new Garand will hold it's value equal or even better than an old part gun. I get guns to shoot them - not to let them sit in the safe or to make money. If the market is such that I make money on it when I sell it - fine. But right now - I am getting a like new - SAFE - Garand with a new MATCH barrel, refinished, new stock and all, and build by a professional gunsmith that know Garand, for $1600. If I had to build one up - just importing the good parts will be a big pain in the aXX and even after the build, and it will not be equal to a JRA or Fulton.
Many pay BIG $$ to get a match barrel on Garand or just to replace a shot out barrel. One says that the only accurate gun are interesting and I subscribe to that. For the real collectors, it is another story. In am not in this sport to hit barn doors at 50 feet.
Well Criterion barrels are only $250, and not exactly match grade....upgrade from wartime USGI barrel for sure. And the price was $1700, next batch will be closer to $2k by the sounds of it. I guess we just have to wait and see if they really are worth $2k and if they will go up in value after being fired...

You mean in 18 years I can't sell this and pay for my kids tuition? Damn. Who said anything about collectability? My question was simple what recievers were they being built on, instead of an legitimate answer I got a bunch of jibber jabber and an opinion that I could give two s**ts about. I have enough collector garands as it is now and it's more then then 2 so anyone on here that got one it would be nice to share what kind of reciever yours is built on, again probably SA but who knows
Is the garand non restricted or restricted? Cause I always thought they were restricted but I just wiki'd the garand and it has a barrel length of 24"? So are they non restricted then? Or are they restricted by name like the AR15
Mine should be delivered tomorrow can't wait.
I wonder who the 4th is. Lol
