One thing to remember is a commercal carbine will only go down in value, a USGI carbine will increase in value

Take a look in the EE. I just picked up a 6 digit inland from a forum member here. It's a mix master that went through an arsenal rebuild. I wanted a shooter in good shape, not something too collectable to shoot, which is what I got for well under $1000.
But as stated, a USGI carbine will appreciate in value, and I really enjoy the history of the WWII guns. |

Fulton Armory. Excellent quality, shoot well. Consider purchasing the barreled action (stripped or complete) and build the rest. GI's are fine but some require replacement parts (barrels/bolts), and many owners seem to keep them as safe queens, afraid to devalue there rifle. I purchase rifles to shoot.

I would look for an import marked USGI rifle with a good ME reading. I just picked up an IBM with some ammo, brass, bullets, and dies for around $700. I figure I'm into the rifle for under $600 after deducting the value of the extras that I would have bought anyway.
