M1 Carbine - Did I get a good deal?
A co-worker is retiring and moving back home to Guatemala. Guatemala is one of those silly countries which doesn't allow its citizens to own guns in military calibers, Thus, he has to 'unload' several of the 'toys' he's acquired during his stay here. He'd already sold his SKS to another co-worker for $75.00, but when I talked to him he offered me an M1 Carbine for $150.00 which I immediately snapped up. It is, according to the barrel markings, an Underwood produced in January of '43 and came with a sling and oiler, one 15 - and two 30 -round magazines. and a 50-round box of Lake City military surplus ammunition (which I immediately used up sighting in and target shooting). The metal is fairly worn, and the stock is in pretty rough shape, but I understand M1s are getting a little uncommon so I reiterate my question:
Did I get a good deal?
YES, As an Firearms Appraiser and Collector you got a great deal. Even used WWII era carbines available from the DCM (Department of Civilian Marksmanship) DCM's guns START at about $400 and go up according to over all condition, and manufacturer (collectability) As long as it functions well you will know if there are any problems.
NOTE*** There are a number of Parts Distributors that stock surplus M1 Carbine Stocks (Original) if you wish to replace your banged up beat up one. M1 Carbine parts are still available also. The only thing in short supply are original government issue 30 shot magazines. Most available today are after market and in some states that limit magazine capacity to 10 rounds, are illegal to possess or own for that matter. As a Gunshop Owner I wouldn't hesitate to offer you $100 dollars or more sight unseen (over and above what you paid for it knowing I could still profit on resale). They have high collectors value and most people lucky enough to get a good one usually keep them.
