M1 Carbine parts identification and value
Cleaning out my old storage I've found my M1
spare part collection (except for the stocks, those are stored seperately).
I've numbered them, I can identify some, but some are unknown. Can you guys please help me with the value of one piece each? Those are all USGI parts, some still factory new, some taken off a gun.
Thanks for the help guys, so that would be the corrected list:
1 M1 Carbine front sight
2 M1 Garand, something from the muzzle?
3 M1 Carbine recoil plate screws with nuts
4 M1 Carbine rear sight, later type
5 M1 Carbine recoil plate
7 M1 Carbine trigger
8 Bolt stud for .50 cal???
9 M1 Garand tool, goes with #19
10 Broken shell extractor
11 M1 Carbine bolt disassembly tool
12 Cleaning thongs
13 M1 Carbine gas pistons
14 Firing pin, unknown?
15 M1 Garand trigger housing
16 M1 Carbine buttplate
16 (numbering error) M1 Carbine slides
17 M3 SMG trigger guards
18 M1 Carbine hammer?
19 Patch Holder for chamber cleaning, goes with #9
20 M1 Carbine recoil spring guide/firing pin?
21 M1 Carbine trigger spring removing tool
22 M1 Carbine wrench for piston castle nut
23 M1 Carbine oilers
24 M1 Carbine Magazine release push button
25 Magazine clamp, probably Uzi or M3 SMG
26 Various M1 carbine pins and springs, have a second box of those aswell which I didn't picture
27 M1 Carbine handguards
28 M1 Carbine slings
29 M1928 Thompson Cutts Compensator
30 M1 Carbine flip sights
31 M1 Carbine trigger group
I've also attached a detailed picture of the M1 carbine flip sights (second picture shows them in exactly the same order as in first picture). Can you tell me which of those would be correct for an Inland? Only need one of those, and would love to know which one I should keep!
Thanks,
Georg

9 and 19 go together to make the cleaning tool for the M1
. 22 is the piston nut wrench for the carbine. 17 is trigger guards. 10 is .30 cal separated casing tools. 11 is the bolt disassembly tool for the carbine. 3 is stock escutcheon screw and nut for the carbine stock. 8 looks like the bolt stud for the .50 cal but I can't see it closely enough. 14 is either M1 rifle or carbine firing pins, I can't see them close enough. 18 is indeed carbine hammers. 25 is I think for M3 grease gun mags not Thompson.

I've only got one Inland with a flip sight, and the closest one you have to mine is the 2nd one in the bottom row. No marking on the right side and a "normal" S on the left, not a "square" one. I've paid anywhere from $12 to $40 for a front sight and I think the adjustable rear sights go for $25 - $35 and up. The flip sights are often $150 and up. Nice bunch of parts! - Bob

20 is a recoil spring guide for the carbine, not a firing pin. 10. broken case extractors. 19. is the patch holder for chamber cleaning for a rifle. caliber unknown, but possibly .308 or .30-06.
When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!

Most of the parts appear very good to NOS. Marking are going to determine values based on scarcity of the part. John

Like I said, 9 and 19 go together to make a combination tool for an M1
...cal .30.

Guys, I've updated the list in the starting post. Looking forward to further feedback, especially on any value of each part. Just looking for ballparks, not depending upon the manufacturer and type etc. Most of them are NOS, still covered in cosmoline
.
In the meanwhile a big thanks to you helping me with identification!
