Any M1 carbine gurus in the IE??

[Rink Rat]

I have a M1 carbine and want to get an estimated value. I have read lots of stuff but would like to get it into the hands of a real M1 guy and he can set me straight on what I have. Looking for someone in the IE & surrounding areas.

While you're waiting on a local to chime in, perhaps start here:

Take it apart, take pictures of the markings on the parts, post them here, and we can give you an idea. Would need to know the maker and serial number or at least most of the serial number for the paranoid. Like this:

No need to look for a FTF evaluation unless you are planning to sell it. Otherwise post some good pics just as Milsurp Collector did above.
