    m1-carbines

    Good day t all;
    This is my first time over here so please bear with me.I have a friend that has 2 WW2 M-1 carbines.They are just the standard isseue carbine with all their matching parts in VG cond.,they do" not" have a folding stock or anything like that.I know you need pics right now but I don't have them yet.... but I will get them.I just need a ballpark value of these pieces.My friend wants to sell them to me and I do not know what to offer.Thanks for any and all help.

    Enjoy your hobby

    Dennis, Unfortunately there are a great number of variables involved when determining the value of M1 carbines.....Early v.s. Late features, how rare/common/desirable the maker is, percentage of finish and whether the finish is original or as a result of refurbishment, and whether all parts are proper for what particular maker, condition of the wood (sanded/unsanded and amount of handling/wear) and bore.....Bodes

      Parts match? some wear and use evident? early models w/0 the bayonet lug? sling? a decent shooter can go 6-750 or so without import marks....a minty one can go over 2000.....lots of variables dictate price here.

        Following WWII there was a huge rebuild program for the M1 Carbine. A new adjustable rear sight was added to all the early Carbines, a new rotating safety replaced the original push safety, and the barrel band was replaced with one that also had a bayonet lug.
        Carbines in the original configuration are scarce today, and there is quite a bit of difference in the price of an original configuration and a post WWII rebuild.

          even with photos ,will still be a little hard to help fully. all comments here are correct.
          also mixed company parts straight from the factory , as these guns were part of a larger plan to get as many over seas as possible. some parts from other makers sent to another company to help with production.
          Here in Az. $550.00 up to about $1,500.00 typical. jeff

            The stocks were also modified by carving out an opening where the slide is, which became known as a "low wood" stock

                  The change from "high" to "low" wood was incorporated into regular production in late 1943.
