Have seen some M49's in 95+% condition, all matching, all original, having sold for $600-$900+...Blue Book value for the same gun is about $500-$600 (all prices U.S. $) I figure that a non-original, non-matching refurbished one would be worth about half those amounts, so I guess I just answered my own question. Kind of a neat looking little carbine, though, but not worth investing more than $300 in costs to buy it & fix it.... Bummer!

Thanks to all for helping me put this into proper perspective! --728shooter
