M1 Carbine Find

[TheBoss930]

Well it's been a while since I posted here! I went to the gunshot Friday, and wasn't really planning on picking an m1 carbine up. I mostly just went to look around and have fun, along with acquiring some stripper clips for my SKS if I felt like it haha. I didn't end up getting any stripper clips, but I came home with an awesome M1 Carbine! I'm excited I finally picked one up, and can't wait to shoot it!! It's an all inland with a 3xx,xxx serial number

I seen a few there myself with prices from $650-1900. Didn't go for any but did pick up an IBM mag for a decent price.

Congrats. I wish I had picked up a couple more when the CMP still had them.

Thanks guys! Will post pics later today!!

Sounds nice, but some pictures will most certainly "sweeten" the deal!

Here are some pictures! The only sad part is that it doesn't have the correct barrel band on it. I need to find a replacement for it.

I understand if you don't want to say, but what did you pay for it?, I fault my friend brent, the huge @hole let me shoot one, and now I'd like to add one to my collection (doubt I'd shoot it much due to the cost of ammo) but a ww2 era carbine is something I'd love to own

Not relevant to this rifle but I like to gloat;I picked up an Inland at Christies of all places for $400 about 6 years ago. At least equal in appearance to the one in the OP.

I piad 1100 for it. I think thats right around "full price" but I'm happy

Congrats on the Carbine find! Now remind yourself that you do not need to have a Carbine from each of the USGI manufacturers. It is worse than Garanditis.

Very dangerous malady, I have two Garands so I think I only "need" 3 more!!

I'd say 1100 for a matching ww2 carbine is a good price! (even if the bbl band isn't a match)

My dad must have the same problem/gift (depending how you look at it) that you do of collecting WW2 US military longarms. He has at least one example of every Garand manufacture and 11 of the 12 carbine manufactures (missing Irwin-Pederson).
