m-1 carbine ????

JesseLee

I would like to know if the National Ordnance M-1 Carbine's are junk or not? I placed a bid on on thinking that it was something that it is not. Which I have a feeling that I will be winning this auction and want to know if I will be purchasing a piece of junk or not. Thank for the the help.

How much did you bid? I don't think they are junk, but not the same quality as a military contract weapon.

Total cost will be 430.00

from what i have herd they are better than the universals. I believe the are made from surplus military parts and will interchange with the military parts obviously. Worse come to worse rebuild it with better GI parts!

It may turn out to be OK; at least you have 3 days to return it, although that will cost you $30.

With a commercial gun with unknown history, it would be a good idea for you to have a gunsmith do a "technical inspection" before you fire it (cost: $50-100). You will want to have him install a new rear sight ($50+). So, you will be well into it before you fire a shot.

Live & learn.

Mine Is a great little plinker.....however some things you should know.....http://www.m1carbinesinc.com/carbine_NATORD2.HTML

Hope you didn't bid original War gun price, if it stays at 430 you might be on the very top side of okay in My book, but I am no expert just saying mine is a fun little plinker that's all............O and pay attn to the Safety issues on the link[:)]
