I realize my question is hard to answer but here are the facts;
I have an opportunity to buy a CMP Danish Field Grade Garand . It is mostly SA parts [ bolt, '43 bbl, op rod,I think the trigger group too ] but of course has a mis-matched Danish stock, although it is attractive and in decent condition. From pics of the bore the seller forwarded it looks like it still has life left though wear is in evidence. I'd rate it an NRA VG . Should spin the bullet, won't win at Camp Pendleton.
All in all it looks like a decent enough M1 Garand, and at 425.00 I thought it a fairly worthy risk to see in person. If I do the deal I'd consider buying an original SA stock set from someplace to replace the mis-matched stock.
What would you do ? I'd be buying from an individual who thus far seems straightforward enough and willing to forward pics of anything I ask him to.
Is 425.00 a good price for this rifle, based on the above bare bones info ?
