What a waste! What do you think the parts will go for? GK
US Gi M1 Carbine Parts Set Winchester Mfg Complete Nice Condition | eBay
Wow! First, I wouldn't mind having the stuff myself, even with the lousy finish on everything. Second, and this is just an opinion, but the seller probably did the de-mill himself just to get the stuff on Ebay. Makes me want to hurl when I see what people have done in the name of greed since the phantom M1 carbine ban talk resurfaced.Quote:

I'll keep an eye on it. I am curious, but not destined to win the stuff. :)
I thought the same thing about the idiot to stupid to put it on Gunbroker [ uncut ] or sell as barreled/reciever or complete with or without stock. GK
What a shame :crying:
I expect that "kit" will end up going for around $600. Possibly higher.....
I wonder if by some chance this was an M2???
I e-mailed the seller and he replyed it is stamped M1. I also asked if he cut it up, no answer. GKQuote:

What was missing I guess is what I'm not understanding.Quote:

There were two inches missing off of the receiver. I only went by the pictures in the ad when I should have read the ad. Sorry for the confusion. I tried to post this explanation earlier, but the post didn't take.Quote:
