Now that the dust has settled from the mad rush to send in orders to the CMP, and the rifles by in large have been received.
Is there really a monetary value difference between a 6 Million and any other M1 in equal condition?

All about numbers, supply and demand. IMO yes there is a slight premium
I really don't think that many on the private market will realize much more value if they are trying to sell to"shooters",but They will on the CMP forum to cultured"collectors".....at least until another huge cache is located.
What about the old premium (that I've read about) for HRA's? If there are a bunch of IHC Garands in the batch from Turkey, will their value drop?
This is, of course, pure speculation from the fact the Turkish Garand thread was pulled so quickly.
Did the Turkey Thread get deleted? I never noticed....was it because of the subject matter, or were the masses fighting?Quote:

Best guess on my part was subject matter. I didn't read anything that was out of line, but it sure vanished in a hurry.Quote:

I always found it strange that some of the equally (or more) rare serial number blocks or variations don't seem to sell for as much of a premium. I guess it's just a matter of herd mentality, and people being told what they're supposed to want.
The thing with the recent batch of 6 mils is that they are mostly non original put together rifles. Many have NM barrels but they may or may not be original NM rifles. Even if they are they don't have all the other NM parts and wood. I still think a true original 6 mil will hold up better on value than this recent batch. There were a few exceptions but it seems most of what folks posted are really just mixmasters with NM barrels on them. To the average guy shopping Gunbroker for his first shooter, he will not care what the serial number is.
