M1 Carbine parts value

[painter777]

Been away....
Anyone figure out who made the Milled Trigger housing yet?
And the Op slide with a P in a Square?
Maybe a WRA Housing.
The Op slide....... If you take the leg of the P and the I and add the Underline (PI) it could look like a P in Square ?
Unless there really is a P in a Square marking I'm not aware of.

If I didn't follow sales and Auction sites, I'd be curious as to what nearly 60 year old like new parts stowed away would be worth today.
Nothing wrong with asking and nothing wrong with asking why your asking.
Can't get all tied up by the written word.

Pics would help immensely for a real value. Without them it's rough speculation. Not really imaging anything for the trigger housing. The slide sounded like Inland to me, but WRA is a possibility I suppose.
Cosine26, on the stock you can look at the left top rail where the hand guard goes for an S A stamped. If no stamp It's anyone's guess who made it. People pay more for S A than unmarked. And they pay more again for HI in sling cut out.
I haven't had a lot of success selling NOS slides at a premium and have tried several about 2 years ago.

Charlie, here's another example of knowing why someone is asking is important. A new guy asks what his Carbine is worth without saying why he wants to know and gets a figure based on recent sales. But it was for an insurance loss. And the Carbine was an original Rockola. Insurance value is different than retail.

Saying why you're asking is much more helpful to both sides of the equation than saying why you aren't asking.
