I'm thinking I might want to start looking for an M1 Carbine and about all I'm sure of at this point is that I'd prefer a USGI model to a reproduction. I'll be looking for a shooter, not a safe queen or wall hanger so more concerned with the action and metal parts than the wood, I suppose.
So given the wealth of knowledge on the forum here, are there any particular tips on what to look for or what to stay away from? Any particular sources outside GB, Armslist, and shows? What would be a reasonable price range (understanding it can vary pretty widely depending on the particular gun)?
