It does not really matter. It's on cmp auction and that seems to add value on top of any other value.
My guess is its like new or in issued and can be positively ID'd. In the end that's what it's,worth to the highest bidder. Look at all the carbines just a few years ago most where 600$ or less ?
Where do you think this will end 6k all ready

Never been so happy to see a charge on my account!
Holy **** the auction for the winchester is over $39k!
Surprise! The auction will be relisted due to the winning bidder "accidentally" adding an extra 0.
There had to be at least two people bidding to run it up that high. Were both of them adding an extra zero?
he could have bid 39000 early on and someone else or two others kept bidding against each other till it hit stupid level and they gave up. Can you see the whole bid history like on ebay?
I'm a little confused let's just say ok he did bid 39000.00 by mistake early on. When the auction ended said 39001.00 Also why would the increments of bidding not go up.
Personally I think someone is,playing games. Posted on cmp forums the gun is to be relisted? Why does it not go to the next highest bidder?

You can get pretty crazy with it. Not just correct manufacturers, but with period drawing numbers, etc.Thing about large collections is if the rifles are correct or made correct after ? Although they are no longer active in this activity I know 5 guys.
They would buy the 12 a year limit and swap parts to get correct rifle period correct parts, they would swap and trade parts through each other... they did this from aprox 1998-2004 or so... only remaining member still active at the club says he has only 15 rifles remaining from the cmp.
Sold off all the regular garands. His pride of his collection is a M1D sniper still in the wrap/box
A few collector grade M1s and one un issued SA from the early 50s.
I'm curious if the 15 sold through HTP where on the floor or on GB? I had heard rumors of a large collection being up for sale a few years ago. I wonder if this was it?

I'll swap obvious parts if I have them (like an Earl MacFarline stock I got on my IHC that I swapped with my WWII SA), but I generally don't seek them out, with the exception of the 03 Mark I I restored, but that was a bit different.
Very good what did you order, I actually recieved a phone call last week on my IHC order. I missed the cut for a IHC al together not even a field grade. They offered a service grade or a special to be shipped within a few weeks.....well I turned it down. Just dont have the room or cash to spend on another service grade.
Crazy how quick they go.
Just got my first garand. Probably not last. Service grade springfield with ww2 serial number. Stock is not new but I'm pretty sure its not GI.
