Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - M1 Carbines

I'm headed to the gun show tomorrow hoping to find one for a reasonable price.  I've settled on an Inland, a Postal Meter or an IBM.  What do I need to look for beyond that.  I don't mind if it has the bayonet lug on it.  Do I need to tear it down and look for any specific markings or numbers anywhere?

The barrel and receiver need to match if you're trying for a collectable.  Everything else is replaceable parts.  Buy a handful of extractors and a bolt tool if you intend to shoot it.
