    Never heard of them. Criterion is what I normally hear.

    But for Garand advice, I would head over to CMP Forums. MUCHO Garand (and Carbine, and Springfield) knowledge there.

    ok my mistake its Geneseo IL all I can find out is commercial production barrels for Springfield I've heard of Criterion that's the norm. Ill have to do more digging to see if Springfield had a plant maybe in this Geneseo IL

    Those are commercial springfield armory barrels not USGI (hence the geneseo il tag) probably not much different than criterion, possibly even bought from them...

    did you check the serial number? Springfield armory inc made non usgi garands (cast receivers) and also built nice rifles on unmarked italian receivers (forged)

    if the whole rifle is springfield inc that changes the value alot.
