Help on an M1 carbine

[urdubob]

A fellow I know was going to give a M1 carbine to his Nephew ( a kid he has a low opion of). I saw it and said do you know how much it is worth. The gun is a 44 inland (no import marks) Great cartohce on the stocks (Crossed cannons in gear) What is the price range for something like this...I am thinking (600-800) dollars or am I thinking 1990's prices?

 

The gun is a solid unmolested 95%

$600-$1000 depending on shape and matching of components to original.

At 95% if you could get it for $600-$800 its a good buy. I paid $700 for nice '43 Underwood w/ '44 Inland barrel in 9/12.

I think the ordnance cartouche indicates at least one arsenal rebuild. May be an in-issued rebuild model with so little wear.

Story goes you could pick them up from the Cmp for $60 in the late 60s / early 70s Edited February 10, 2013 by Gotthegoods

If he has a low opinion of him, it won't be in the kid's hands long. Probably in a pawn shop before long.
