Hello Gentlemen,

I am possibly doing a trade tomorrow. I will be giving my M1icon Carbine for an M1 Garand. I would like to know if this would be a fair and even trade or not. I need to know pretty soon.

I'll start with my Carbine. It is a 1943 Saginaw. The only two things I know are matching are the barrel and receiver. It seems to have been re-blued at some point. The trigger housing is Inland and the stock is some USGI stock I bought on Ebay, can't find any markings on it. I've not been able to find markings on anything but the Receiver, barrel, and trigger housing. I also have reproduction sling,pouch, and oiler but they were cheap enough to be not really important.

M1 Carbine:
http://prntscr.com/hd5l4h- Yes I am aware the pouch is on the wrong side, I am left handed.
http://prntscr.com/hd5l9f- Reads "SAGINAW S.G." Serial: 3495052
http://prntscr.com/hd5li2- You can see the bluing is rich but does not seem to be original bluing color at all.
http://prntscr.com/hd5lr0- Reads "SAGINAW S.G." ^ "GENERAL MOTORS."
http://prntscr.com/hd5m2p- Some corrosion on buttplate and a thin split in the stock.
http://prntscr.com/hd5m9v- Some of the bluing coming off at edges.



Second the Garand. It is an HRA Garand that is mixmatched. From what he says, it is all USGI parts. Specifically he says, the stock seems to be USGI Springfield with no cracks or splits, just handling marks and scratches. The oprod is an original Springfield WWII uncut (Not sure what that means.) Trigger group is WWII Springfield as well. Barrel is 1963 Springfield he says to be quite nice. He says that any of the parts that aren't HRA are mostly Springfield. He is also including 4 en bloc clips.
