the 6-digit receiver is easy to come by. the value is in the barrel. if the barrel is good, don't hesitate.

If you decided later to sell the garand you shouldn't have any trouble getting $750.00 or more out of it.

Barrels that are un chromed have a better chance of being original,as after the War any rifles being rebuilt and some replacement barrels were chromed,that is why it is more rare to find unchromed.Even if it was replaced during the War,it was early enough to get old style.I can't give You a price difference,but it is considerable.

thanks prince.... REALLY leaning towards doing the trade... guy said it was bought from a guy on cmp board along time ago he has several garands and always wanted a 27 snubby, i think with the serial number ending in 911 kinds cool... date correct unchromed barrel pad, date correct sling still useable its worth at least 650.00 i have in the 27?
I would think the lock bar sight would boost it's value, also.
