Question to you Experts
Hello to all,
Today i was out for looking after an Carbine and found a nice one. It is a Underwood with the SN#2220183. It has a nice dark wood with a red shimmer , the bore is shiny and all parts are matching and ordnance bombs are on it. The guy sells it with 1000 cases, 100 rounds of American Eagle ammo, 200 bullets, complete Conversion Kit for the Dillon with Redding Dies, 10 mags and the Gaspiston tool for $ 620. The price is fair for the level over here. Can anybody tell me the date of manufacturing please? No Pics at the moment i forgot my cam
Thank you in advance
Regards
Gunner

Gunner,
Double check that serial number.
2,220,183 would fall into Stan Pro's block.

STANDARD PRODUCTS CARBINE USED THE BARREL ISSUE PROGRAM.
A UNDERWOOD BARREL ON A STAN PRO IS VERY COMMON AS ISSUED
STAN PRO USED MOSTLY UNDERWOOD BARRELS.

Gunner, the brass alone is worth about $100, the ammo $20, the bullets another $25 and the other stuff at around $100 (give or take on condition). Stateside, that leaves the carbine an equivilent of $375. As a package deal it sounds good. If there is something wrong with the carbine, you could either put a little in to fix it or part it out for that price.
That is how I look at it but I don't know what prices you face in Germany

By mixmaster, do you mean it has a Underwood barrel ? If so, that's most likly right. Standard Product didn't make their own barrels. As for the price, That less than I would have to pay for one, with all the extras, even if I bought just the rifle through CMP
. Later, Bob.

I don't have any date books on hand at the moment.
I do know this was Stan Pro's first assigned serial block.
To me any US M1
carbine with a good receiver, non import marked barrel, M1 stock and clean bore is worth $600.
Stan Pro did use a number and letter production code found on the receiver's left side. I think I'm correct here........the earlier the code number the earlier the production.
Others will help with date. I'm guessing late 43.

Tired Retired and Bob,
thank you both for your comments. Yes it is a package deal and the price is fine for Germany
. I am a newbie on Carbines so i have to ask a bit. The carbine is ok no problems it shoots a 10 shot group with a bit over 3.5" from a sandbag at 100 yards with the American Eagle ammo. So i think everything is allright with it.
