M1A1 Carbine Value?

**Rajeee** · 03-10-2011 07:12 PM

Hello …

I'm currently running an ad in the Quartermaster Stores:

M1A1 Inland Carbine

I know they're more popular in the U.S., but I'm located in Canada icon

and I'm not really that sure as to a fair market valuation on this piece, so I thought I'd ask some of the very experienced carbine collectors in this forum.

I'd appreciate any feedback as to what you you think would be a fair asking price.

Thanks ...

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

That looks like a very nice example of an early M1A1 icon

. If it was mine, I'm thinking 4k, starters..... Frank
P.S. were do you "Canucks'"get these?

I'm guessing that there's no way this M1A1 icon

can be purchased by an American and sent to the U.S.?

Too bad the rear sight is notched

That field modification rear sight has some appeal. I would rather have that then have it replaced with an adj sight.

**usgicollector** · 03-11-2011 10:07 PM

Several of us here have originals with sights like that.
I would not hesitate one bit to buy one with that done to the sight.

It was done for quicker site in when in combat, I have seen it before. And I can understand why.

A lot of soldiers grew up hunting with "buckhorn" sights. So that type of modification would make sence. It's still the sight that came with the gun. I would leave it.....Frank

Ditto.

Agree with Frank, leave it.
