So, the title says it all. I have a Sig 516 that I am contemplating on trading for a 1953 all matching M1 with bayonet and sling. It's a Danish return and from what the seller says it is unique in the fact that it does not have the barrel swapped out for the VAR barrel. I don't know too awful much about the M1 Garand other than the fact that I have always wanted one. I offered the trade not expecting him to (possibly) accept it. So, now I'm torn because I really like my Sig haha!
Would I be getting a fair deal if I did decided to trade? Should I offer cash instead? Also, what should I be looking for when inspecting an M1 Garand? Again, I don't know a lot when it comes to the rifle and I have been burnt in the past going into a deal not knowing enough about the firearm.
I will say this, however... I was gifted 4 enbloc clips a few weeks ago loaded up with Lake City stamped '53. Is this a sign?
