I have a nice looking Garand Springfield serial #904097. It’s supposed to be era correct, 1942, and I had a local guy tell me it was worth quite a bit of money. Problem is it has failure to extract and eject and feed. Something I’ve never experienced with a Garand. Oh and the trigger assembly falls out under recoil. I took it to shop in Fresno, guy told me all the problems I am having was due to the stock being compressed and recommend I Change the stock.

So a couple questions.

Is this rifle worth putting serious money into?

Is it worth the money to buy the era correct parts to keep it stock?

Am I better off selling this thimg to a collector and just filing the paperwork for another H&R from CMP?

Thanks guys
