Wow! First, I wouldn't mind having the stuff myself, even with the lousy finish on everything. Second, and this is just an opinion, but the seller probably did the de-mill himself just to get the stuff on Ebay. Makes me want to hurl when I see what people have done in the name of greed since the phantom M1 carbine ban talk resurfaced.

As far as what the stuff will go for, I think 500 (if everyone is turned off by the finish) to as much as 800 would not be out of the question. I can even see it going for more if two less than intelligent fellows get in a bidding war.

I'll keep an eye on it. I am curious, but not destined to win the stuff.

I thought the same thing about the idiot to stupid to put it on Gunbroker [ uncut ] or sell as barreled/reciever or complete with or without stock. GK

What a shame

I expect that "kit" will end up going for around $600. Possibly higher.....

I wonder if by some chance this was an M2???

I e-mailed the seller and he replyed it is stamped M1. I also asked if he cut it up, no answer. GK

In other words, YES! I don't think the way it's cut qualifies as technically de-milled either. I can see someone named Bubba welding it back together since it's such a straight cut. That of course is no guarantee it will happen.

I'd think you'd want the original parts for that...

Are you talking about the section of receiver missing? I didn't notice that in the description till near the end of the auction. BTW, the kit sold for almost the top price I predicted. I never really thought it would go for that much, but certainly believed it was possible.
