That is for sure, Rusty. What I was shooting for was some discussion as to why so much so fast and where we are probably going from here. Will a put-together with some repro parts command the price of a decent car. Maybe. It kind of looks like it right now. Will this affect the market price of the real originals + or -? Probably, but which way. If the inflated rebuilt carbine price is being generated by the dealers then I'm sure they know something I don't - they're betting their living on it. If it is driven by deep pocket, clueless 'collectors' then how long will the trend last and how bad (or good depending upon your pov) will it get? I want a little in-depth discussion now and then, if anybody is willing to show their hand. Semper Fi. ChipS

Yes, that link is the real deal on that Carbine. I saw another thread where the seller said it and another rifle are exactly as he bought them. He must be the buyer of it from RIA according to the dates of the purchase and sale on GB within a month. So it went from corrected to unissued in a month.

That goes to show you, look very close, magnify pictures when possible and look close. It doesn't look like he swapped the major parts, but might have cleaned and re-parked some. Still has the rear and front sight (I assume) from the RIA auction, the stock I don't know because of the lack of photos from RIA auction. Very nice restoration, probably not the real deal. I've been wrong before, but I think the rear sight and type 1 band are authentic, but then again, I can only go by the pictures. I agree with Chip, I would have to have it to see in my hands to ease my mind. I would like to thank Brian, for researching that carbine, it took some time and effort to do so. Brian just for my satisfaction, in your opinion, could you tell us yea or nea on the Barrel Band and Rear sight. You don't have to put details, just yea or nea. Thanks again...Rusty

The rear sight is most certainly NOT USGI. I bolded "NOT" so that a reader wouldn't miss that word. I don't mean it as a slight to anyone. It's definitely a reproduction.

Look at the front site pin, the marks on the site and pin do not match! Also look at the hammer mark on the trigger frame! Just my observation.
As for the original posting I think I will contact seller for more info. If I get it I'll post. GK
