If the M1A1icon stock is pristine, has an M2 cut, a blued recoil plate cover and an unmarked buttplate it is a modern reproduction stock. If the park finish looks new it is new. If it has a bayonet lug barrel band and adjustable rear sight they are not original to the carbine. I would not expect to find anything better inside if I took it apart. Based upon what we know I think $800 is a very generous offer. I too have no use for this seller. JMHO
