i have a like new s&w model 27-2 in 3.5in 357mag value is 800-1000.00 i have 650.00 in the gun, the rifle a guy wants to trade me for is a 1942 oct 6 digit springfield m1 garand s/n ending in 911 kinda cool has orig dated 42 barrel great rifliling nice walnut stock with 42 dated boyt leather military sling
thoughts on the even trade? [IMG][/IMG]
forgot also has type 2 lock bars on it.... op rod number and trigger group are from a 45 rifle but easy to make correct
I'd say do it, mainly because i once traded away an SA six-digit before I knew beans about Garands. I'd bet a six digit is a lot less common than your Smith.

thinking the same, with this being a date correct reciever, barrel thats also in great shape, and dated boyt sling with correct type 2 lockbars? waiting on the prince or tim to chime in on this deal
Whats the muzzle ,throat wear?
If good barrel and its a rifle you want its a good trade especially since you only have $650.00 in it

Do it and don't look back.
When dealing with liberals, always attribute to malice what would ordinarily be attributed to incompetence.

As long as the barrel specs are good,I'd say that would be worth $650.If You were trying for a higher value,I'd ask if op rod were modified,gas cyl pad chromed?,or if the stock were USGI?Looks like a nice rifle.
