Just bought my first carbine, please help me out.
As the thread states, I just bought my first carbine and would like to know any information you can give me about it.
I know the following, Underwood receiver flat bolt, late rear sight (shield H), early magazine button and safety, possibly underwood cartouche, blue sky barrel (no stamp damage), late curved magazine stamped J. So any specifics would be much appreciated and an approximate value. Maybe you want to buy it? I would like to trade for/towards a Garand. Thanks!
