Anywhere from $200 to $1,000+ depending on parts and condition. Stuff like WRA and IHC brings a premium.

I'd be all over that deal and quick! Condition is everything and Garand parts in any condition are getting pricey. If you don't like it after buying, send it to me. :biggrin:

WRA = Winchester Repeating Arms
IHC = International Harvester Corp.

Offer $250, Sarco is over-priced.

WRA, IHC, SA, HRA, PB, BMB, etc. will be stamped on the individual parts.
WRA = Winchester Repeating Arms (WWII only)
IHC = International Harvester Corp (all postwar)
SA = Springfield Armory (WWII & postwar)
HRA = Harrington & Richardson (all postwar)
PB = Beretta (Italian, all postwar)
BMB = Breda (Italian, all postwar)
VAR = Danish replacement barrels, usually accurate but not worth much to collectors.
Sub-$300 kits are around still if you look, Sarco has long been over-priced on their kits. Most of the current kits with barrels are from disassembled Danish guns and are American/Italian/Danish mutts with less collector value than all-USGI guns. With that said, the Italian and Danish parts are oftentimes better than USGI wartime quality.
Check the CMP forums to find out what's around, that's where I'm learning everything.
