Trying to find out a little more about these markings...

[rash62ol]

Hey guys here are some photos of a M1 that I am trying to place a value on. Any help would be appreciated. I know it was made by Saginaw. Thanks again guys! If you need any other info from me or pictures, please let me know. The only parts missing are the magazine and the rear sight, which I will need to get.












































Sorry about all the photos, I am trying to be as thorough as possible. Thanks again guys, I appreciate any info you can provide me.

Ditto, what shady said, get a rear sight and you have a nice rifle.
Would like to see a pic of the front right of the stock, from the side and the top, looking down.
Most of all have fun with it.....Frank

A full view of the rightside would be nice, to see the complete stock.
Oiler slot... I cut or Oval?
High wood or low wood?
Very nice GHD/UEF Stamp !

Whats up with the Type II trigger housing?
Is it WRA or Inland?
The INLAND Logo looks strange. Housing seems to have the vice scars on it like WRA.

Off To Work..........

Charlie, working on Sat? I know, when you have your own business you do what you have to do.
Me I'm off to a gun auction (will be looking at an M1A1) wish me luck!!!!!.....Frank

Thanks guys. I'll get the photos you guys are requesting tonight after I get off of work. What kind of value would you put on this rifle considering it still needs a rear sight and the bore is a little dark. I am wanting to purchase this from a friend who told me these old rifles do nothing for him. He just wanted me to find a fair price for the M1 carbine. Any help is appreciated, thanks again!

[frankderrico]

rash62ol, are there any import stamps on the side or bottom of the barrel?.....Frank

[Harlan (Deceased)]

Depending on the wear on the muzzle in addition to the dark bore and no sight or magazine I think anywhere from $400-$500 would be fair for both of you.
Adjustable sights and magazines aren't very hard to find and it will probably make a good shooter.

*** Good question Frank - (You posted while I was writing)
The rebuild stamp on the stock detracts a little too

[rash62ol]

Frank - I have seen no import markings on the rifle.

[frankderrico]

Than I agree with Harlen. $400 to $500 is fair for both you and the seller. Good luck and welcome to the forum.....Frank
