First we need to know if the barrel is original to the rifle. What is the serial number, minus the last three digits? (i.e. 3333xxx). What is the drawing number on the op rod? How about the trigger group parts? Is it a GI stock or a Boyd's? Any cartouches?
If it is a mixmaster I would assume that it is worth about $5-600.

Well it's probably a WW2 orignial receiver/barrel combo at least. That alone will make it worth $6-800
What it should have:
op rod = D28287-12-SA, curved side
trigger group
--housing = D28290-12-SA
--guard = stamped
--hammer = C46088-7 SA
--spring guide = w/o wings
--safty = sa-11
Rear sight = type three lock bars
The more original the rifle the more it is worth to a collector. Don't take less than $600. If it looks good you should be able to get more for it walking around at a gunshow.
