[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 2665308, member: 13284"] You would probably also need to check the manufacturer on the small parts like the slide, sights, trigger housing, etc as well. The rifle likely has gone through a post-war rebuild due to the SA replacement barrel and the Type III barrel band so it is definitely not an original or "correct" rifle which is where the big money is at on carbines (along with rifles that have early production features like high wood stocks, flip sights, Type I or Type II barrel bands etc). The adjustable rear sights were late war additions and may be correct for the serial but I can't be sure without doing some research. Any visible rebuild stamps on the stock? Even though the stock may be IO marked, it wouldn't be the original, correct stock since it is an M2 potbelly profile (no Inland M2 stocks were produced prior to 1945). If the barrel condition is good with low muzzle and throat erosion I would say that the rifle is worth no less than $800. [/QUOTE]
