need to know value of this m1 carbine

[EARACE]

I inherited it from my uncle, I have no idea when he acquired it but suspect sometime in late 50s to early 60s, I have had it for 17 years and just fire it for the first time Wed. I would like to know what it is worth as I plan on selling it so I can get something with an optic sight, It is in amazing condition for being made in 1943.
