Pat Mac welcome, you did good. Like rusty said we like pics, so when you can post some.
I was at a pretty good sized show Sat. four mix master carbines over priced. One DCM Win, with papers and extras $1,500.
You will like this forum. Some of the best and most knowlegable carbine people around.....Frank

Thaks. I've been a member for a couple of years. Spent most of my time on the 1903 forum. Haven't had much to say here.

Got a collector interested in the KI/M2 30 round magazine. Said he needs it for his collection. It's about 90-95% but I don't know what it's worth. Any advice?

If I remember the only one marked on the top. Thought to be a Winchester early. Could be Stanley Works or Stanley for Win. My original Winchester has one. The ammunition and magazines are worth a lot right there, I would say that you did extremely well barring any unforeseen issues with the carbine. Consider that the SG by itself would be $5-600 almost anywhere today. As a mixmaster shooter, a new Winchester barrel enhances its value. I would have jumped all over that deal.
