Winchester M1 Garant?
Hi There !
I own a Winchester M1 Garant. The Rifle appears to be never fired and in a new condition. The Rifle looks like an unissued weapon. This M1 was purchased many years ago by gentleman who worked for the Military.
Does any one have any idea of the value of this Winchester if it’s a unissued weapon ?
I like to sell it to a collector who can appreciated for what it is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Randy's prices are correct.
One caveat: If the M1 rifle has been rebuilt, and has mismatched parts, the book value is $900.00 in excellent - no matter the manufacturer. Still, you can often sell a very nice mismatched M1 for far over the book value.
Most M1's fit the rebuilt/mismatched description.
There are very few unissued Garands out there. If you recall, we were involved in a war at the time the Garand was being issued as a service rifle. There are a lot of armory reworks, but very few unissued Garands. For a value, you would need to find someone who collects Garands.
First, it is a Garand, not a garant!

The winchester production Garands are some of the most desireable and you should have it further appraised before selling. i would also recommend using one of the top auction houses to sell it.
I myself would never part with it except under duress.
Shoot safe
You mean Garand. Depending on condidtion, worth betwee 1500 and 2000 dollars
