Hey guys. I have a friend who wants to sell me his M1 Carbine. I have not seen it yet, but he descibes it as being a Remington, in very good condition. It is a post WW II model as it has the bayonet lug and adustable rear sites. He bought it 14 years ago while working at a department store that sold old surplus rifles (M1 Garands, carbines, Enfields and Mausers). It has a 15 round mag and a 30 round mag. He says he has never shot.
I don't know much about the M1 Carbines, and don't know what a fair price is.
I also have a couple of questions. Is this a USGI carbine, or an after market? Is there anything I should look for (like markings). I have heard of Blue Sky imports. If this is one of them, will that affect value?
He also has one of the Enfield rifles that he wants to sell. He thinks it is .303, and is also in good condition. It has no accessories.
Any help with values for the two rifles would be really appreciated.
Thanks!
Brad
