Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - M1 carbine pre-purchase questions
Posted: 9/25/2004 2:42:20 PM EDT
I saw an IBM made M1 carbine today in a gun shop I found.  The person who sold it to them had sanded the stock down until all cartouches were gone, and then refinished it.  It was not a re-import.  As a result, they had $550 on it.  Is this good, bad, or indifferent?

What should I look for, I don't know anything about the carbines.

Thanks,


Michael

serial # range?. How's the bore look ?

depends on what you want it for a shooter or a collectible.

Should have said, I'm looking for a shooter.  I didn't get a chance to grab the serial # or bore light it, was in sort of a hurry.
