M1 Garand Info

bill2740
Where can I get drawing part numbers and heat treat numbers for the M1 Garand? Would like the info on a CD.
Trying to restore a 1942 and 1944 Springfield.
TIA

    I am looking at purchasing a m1 garand and have found a springfield with a 6 digit ser # which indicates it was mfd. 1941-1942. It seems to be a non-import rifle in very good condition overall. The dealer said it had a 1949 barrel, I have not verified that. he was asking $850 and have talked him down to $750 If this is an original, even with a later date barrel, is it worth the $750? Would it have been done at an arsenal while in service? I have also located a non-import CMP Winchester for $820. I do not know if it has the paperwork or box which would no doubt increase the value. based on what I know of these rifles which one seems like a better deal? I do not have $820 cash right now but can put the springfield on lay a way for a 20% down payment so I am leaning toward it. Any thoughts on the subject?

    "The M1 Garand Serial Numbers and Data Sheet" by Scott Duff, about 9.95 in book stores.

    bill; here are a couple of Garand things I had on file that may be of some interest if you do not already have them:

    bill, here's another site with lots of information:

    I also highly recommend Scott Duff's books. I have 'The M1 Garand: Owner's Guide.'

    Another good Garand book is 'M1 Garand 1936 to 1957', by Joe Poyer and Craig Riesch.

    I found both of them on fleabay at prices under retail.

    Bill, like Rebel_James stated; Another good Garand book is 'M1 Garand 1936 to 1957', by Joe Poyer and Craig Riesch. Is an excellent book. I have a copy of it and it has a good bit of info in it.
