M-1 Carbine in Local Pawnshop For Sale - Worth the Price?

[INLAND44]

Stock is repro. mags/bayo are junk. What you're buying is the carbine itself with no stock. Maybe $300 if in good condition but judging by what I can see I would want to take a real good look. Actually while the fake stocks aren't valuable, this set-up with a good working carbine is great for a home-defense or truck gun.

OK, thank you. I heard you recently passed your "really senior" 50th birthday, youngster!

Looks ok on out side as a shooter grade but what about inside bore condition, bolt face, mags could be from number of places, Folding stock could be one of the re-pops from the 70's What are markings on barrel, import nane?

Don't really know as would have to take down to check for more specifics. Imported by Blue Sky, Virginia. Thanks a heap!
