    And sometimes parts can take not weeks or months but years to find. All because the right parts are serial number dependent with carbines. And as TenOC wisely stated you will need DEEP pockets. The prices he quoted are pretty darn close to what people are paying now. As time goes by the prices are going to climb. I have seen people sink like $4000 into parts in a restoration. The whole carbine isn't worth that at all!!!!! For under $200 you can get a post war replacement stock, a replacement front sight, key and sight pin and a reproduction rear flip sight or a later during the war adjustable sight and look like 99% of the carbines out there.
