M1 Carbine

[Fyrtwuck]

An M-2 can be had for about $7000.00, maybe less.

I had an IBM m1 carbine, should not have sold it. But i know where there's a USGI carbine for $695 and no i'm not telling who has it.

It appears this guy busted out his NFA asset in a neighborhood parkinglot. Yikes.

You mean the M2 Carbine? Heck yes.

i meant the Garand!

Check today's classifieds.

BTW, I think Plainfield's were pretty good carbines. "Some" Universals were the pits.

I agree that the M1 is a really cool rifle. They are really fun and easy to shoot. So easy they are a great tool to train teens, pre-teens and women to shoot...other than using a 22 of course. Inland made most of the WW2 M1's but as others have stated, lots of folks like IBM made them...Winchester too. I just bought an Inland for $600 at a local gun shop. Most really nice Inlands can be had for $550 - $700. IBM, Winchester, etc will cost a little more due to their collector value.
Have fun

I've got a USGI M1 made by IBM I would sell. It was a send back from the Bavarian Police and has the plum colored trigger guard. These are a whole nother subset of historical M1's. When I got it I had the whole story, but I believe it was given to the Bavarian Police by the US to restore order after the war. Easily identified by the plum colored trigger guard. Ultimately made it back to CMP where I bought it several years ago. Shot it once when I got it and it's been in the safe since.

I have one of those but mine is a Blue Sky import. Does yours have the serial number routed into the stock?

I posted a picture in my original post. The serial number on the stock is stamped in the sling/oiler area.
CMP sold out of these and says they are gone forever. I also had a unfired Garand Special I sold earlier in the year. I have too much going on in pistol's and AR's to admire and appreciate the M1's. Although I have tons of respect for them!

At the last couple of gun shows the M1 carbines were everywhere. On dealers tables and people carrying them around. I had never seen so many up for sale, I didn't check prices.
