What is the value of:
1. New GI carbine stock. No hardware. No marks proof or otherwise.
2. New round carbine bolt. Never installed no wear marks?
Thanks.

Sounds like you have either a post-war or a commercial stock if it’s new and unmarked? Commercial....almost worthless. Post-war GI replacement $50-$75.
Bolts....it’s a guess not knowing who made it. $75 and up for USGI, or maybe not much if it’s commercial.
Need to know who made it?
Some parts I picked up in the 1960's from an armorer who had been instructed to sent to salvage.
Stock new un issued GI- probably post war replacement
Bolt new complete, unissued marked A.1 and a "T" or "I" on left lug. do not know maker
Trigger housing, milled, with flip safety and mag release marked with "M" underlined. Only marking an "A"
All unissued as new.
Had no real use for them but had a carbine bought through DCM and thought I might need new arts.
Thanks for your reply
Not trying to sell.

AI is an Inland WW2 bolt. If the stock is a pot belly it most likely is post was and could be as late as Vietnam as it has not markings. The trigger housing could be almost anyone. Pictures of it would help. The bolt if complete about $100+. The stock if pot belly about $25 and up a bit. The trigger housing would depend if cast or machined and if it's a WW2 original could be at least $75.
I think most of these parts, if in excellent condition would be worth close to double or more what these guys are telling you. :nono: - Bob
Thanks to all for the responses
Why would you want value if you aren't selling?
Insurance purposes. I catalog my stuff. Ya never know!Quote:

I asked Cosine.
Sorry for the advice. I’ll be careful not to provide anymore unsolicited advice on this public forum in the future.Quote:

Final question:
Operating Slide with boxed "P" in the well and part number and a "W" stamped on bottom of well. Anything unusual?
For tenOC
Sorry I did not respond sooner. Had to make a trip to ER.
Thanks,

You were making an assumption, unless you have a second username of Cosine26. Playing victim?Quote:

Thank you, and you have a good one as well. I also saw your first response before being edited which was about making an assumption of why he was asking.Quote:

I keep a current spreadsheet of every spare part I have for every gun I own. It’s so much fun to tweak on those rainy days.Quote:

Well, perhaps this member has. Guys I think we should get back on track and not concern ourselves with the reason a member poses a question. Now would be a great time to get back on track ;)Quote:

Been away....
Anyone figure out who made the Milled Trigger housing yet?
And the Op slide with a P in a Square?
Maybe a WRA Housing.
The Op slide....... If you take the leg of the P and the I and add the Underline (PI) it could look like a P in Square ?
Unless there really is a P in a Square marking I'm not aware of.
If I didn't follow sales and Auction sites, I'd be curious as to what nearly 60 year old like new parts stowed away would be worth today.
Nothing wrong with asking and nothing wrong with asking why your asking.
Can't get all tied up by the written word.
Cheers,
Pics would help immensely for a real value. Without them it's rough speculation. Not really imaging anything for the trigger housing. The slide sounded like Inland to me, but WRA is a possibility I suppose.
Cosine26, on the stock you can look at the left top rail where the hand guard goes for an S A stamped. If no stamp It's anyone's guess who made it. People pay more for S A than unmarked. And they pay more again for HI in sling cut out.
I haven't had a lot of success selling NOS slides at a premium and have tried several about 2 years ago.
Charlie, here's another example of knowing why someone is asking is important. A new guy asks what his Carbine is worth without saying why he wants to know and gets a figure based on recent sales. But it was for an insurance loss. And the Carbine was an original Rockola. Insurance value is different than retail.
Saying why you're asking is much more helpful to both sides of the equation than saying why you aren't asking.

I do not have any good pictures. My pictures do not come out well. Here is what I have now.
Imgur: The magic of the Internet
All of my parts date to parts from an U S Army armorer from about 1964 when the army post converted from M1 &M1 Carbine to the M14..
I shall try to take and post more pictures later.
For painter777 the op slide looks as you described it with rhe "P" underlined rather than "boxed"..
The "W" is stamped on the bottom of the slide on the side where the P/N (which is nearly as I can make out is not a M2. P/N)
I do not believe any of the parts have collector value as they were circa 196o's replacement parts for maintenance of post issue M1's ,M1 Carbine's and rifle team NM M1's
My reason for asking is just plain curiosity-nothing more..
Thanks for the input.
FWIW
Bottom slide is an M2 variety. Typically can sell for more than a standard M1 slide of the same maker.
Above that is a braised (sp) trigger housing. If there are no maker's marks on the sides it can be marked on the magazine well rear wall (inside rear wall where the magazine is inserted) and will be marked with a .U. stamp.
The same can be said for the other trigger housing.
I like the color of the top slide. Looks like a type IV or V
tenOC
I re-examined the pictured parts.
The top op slide has a hard to read P/N with the "w" on the bottom of the well and came off an IBM M1 that I bought thru the DCM for $20.
The top TG Assy has the letter "A" stamped just forward of the TG behind the assembly hole for the safety/mag catch assy spring
The bottom TG Assy has a "U." stamped in the well and is laminated (?). It also has two grooves in the back of the well. This came off the same DCM M1 s above
The bottom Op slide has a P/N on the bottom followed by "SA"
Thanks for your response.
