Was looking through some GB auctions and ran across an New Manufactured M1 carbine made in Israel. It shows the gun with a bayonet lug. Can you still manufacture new guns with a removable clip and a bayonet lug?
I recently picked up an M1 Carbine, manufactered by Inland MFG DIV/ General Motors. It has a barrel stamp of 10-43, but also has the stamp of Blue Sky/ Arlington, VA. Everything appears to be original and shows very little wear. The stock is pretty clean and has cartouche markings on it. I dont necessarily want to get rid of this, but I would like to know if it has any value. Any info would be appreciated.
"I say ,I say"here I am again with another small problem with an inherited piece. I have an M1 carbine that I cannot find any name on. How do I determine who made it and whether it is military or after market???? It has an SG on the bottom of the reciever an r by the trigger and an M50 on the mag release. It has the irc 715006d adjustable rear site. Does the SG mean Saginaw perhaps???. There is no name under the rear site on the top of the reciever. I would appreciate it if any one can give me the info.
Thanks

hi ive just collected a cupple of m1's one is a gm and the other is a universal should i keep both or sell? is the uni. worth keeping? they are both in 75% or maby a little better condition[:p]
Looking for a book that will tell the history of, and ins and outs of the M1. Would like to buy a one before they are $1500 each, but want to know how to tell originals from junk or parts guns. Thanks as always, B.C..[:p]
Can someone help me with a question on the M1 Carbine Paratrooper. Witch ones are worth the most? How can I tell what I have by looking at the gun. Thanks for any help.

Would appreciate info on how to remove and install rear flip sight on carbine. Is there a tool made for this or can it be removed with a punch, and from which direction? Thanks
I have had problems with my M1 Carbine manufactured by National Ordinance Inc. #7541 ever since I got the thing, the problem is feeding. When I'm shooting it, it will jam up and not feed the next round, and not eject the previous one properly. I tried a thorough cleaning of the bolt and receiver, but it still gives me problems, I was wondering if anyone had some tips on what to do with this. Thank You.
i have just purchased a iver johnson m1 carbine from a freind for $200. the rifle is in mint condition does anyone know what the top value of this rifle is???? http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=57379931
this is not mine. mine is in much better shape!!!!!
I obtained an M1 Carbine from a friend of mine. On the barrel i discovered the name Rock Ola,but i also discovered the Inland Division name and a serial number:6252521. It is in a mint condition. What is the value nowadays?
Please help me out. [:)]
I'm new to military collectables so this maybe a dumb question. Was the M 1 carbine ever made in full auto version? If so what could be expected for the going rate for one of these if a person was going to go through with all the paperwork and pay the taxes?
Just passed on a Rock-Ola M1 carbine. Price was $250.00, but saw no flaming bomb,the stock was re-worked, and there was no bayonet lug.Also no other ordanance markings. What do you think?
A good friend of mine who was a glider pilot and made four glider landings in Europe gave me his M1 Carbine recently. It has the swinging metal stock and the following identification:"ROCK-OLA 4581936". Does anyone know who manufactured it and what is is worth? It means more to me as a keepsake but I am just curious.
Thanks,

While cleaning my carbine I noticed that the barrel and receiver were stamped SAGINAW ??? GENERAL MOTORS. The trigger group is Inland and the slide has a big "Z" stamped on the bottom. Haven't seen many "Saginaw" carbines. Any collectors value? Think I got this probably 30 to 40 years ago thru DCM, but really not sure..
Looking to buy an M1 Carbine as a collector piece. Need some education. Most sought after? Correct markings? Price isnt a problem. Want best of the best. Thanks
I was wondering if anyone knew a left handed saftey lever is avalible for the M1 Carbine or if its possible for the existing lever to be fliped around so it can be better opperated by a left-handed shooter.
A muzzle gauge measures muzzle wear. A CMP service grade should gauge under '3'. There are a few companies that make them; CMP sells them themselves too. A decent poor man's gauge is to use a loaded surplus 30-06 round and poke the bullet into the muzzle. It should not come close to the brass- the muzzle should bite into the bullet well before the crimp groove. It won't give you a number but will give you a reference.
All of this is just to determine how well it will shoot. It can be secondary to other factors like matching parts, rarity, etc.
How well the metal fits the wood and whether it wiggles would also be of interest for a shooter.
"WOW" GREAT INFO. Thank you so much for the replies JONK. Looks like Ill grab the quality hardware for 625 and Ill bring along a 06 round to measure THANK YOU AGAIN. IF you think of any more usefull info please dont hesitate to post. GOD BLESS.

The general consensus is that they are way over priced and in not particularly good shape. I have a 1942 Inland with "all early" equipment - flip rear sight, push button safety, barrel band. Didn't cost nearly what Big 5 wants. And regarding M1 carbine prices, you can learn a bit from cruising through the auctions.
The one I got from the CMP looks FAR better that the scruby ones I have seen at Big 5. They all look pretty ratty.
The CMP ones have gone up but they are still far, far better priced than Big 5.
I dont think carbines had the serial number stamped on the stocks from the factory. I think that was a Isreal thing. I'm not positive. Personally i would go with the quality hardware. If you dont give me the guys name. I'll buy it! I paid 600 for mine 2 years ago. It is a inland with a inland barrel. The other parts are mixed. low wood 2 rivit handguard I cant stand those pot belly m2 stocks. Look ugly

I just noticed that they have a pretty good price on the sling & oiler but I can't find what the shipping would be.

stamped with the serial number straight from the factory.
The CMP has provenance, and probably barrel condition, plus a more
attractive price and a more uncommon maker.
