Driving thru Clarendon, Tx each year from 1979 to 1995 or so I would see a sign advertising WWII M1 carbines for sale. After hunting in Colorado I was always too short on money to stop and buy one on the way back. Price was $100 and I have regretted for many years now that I didn't stop and buy one or more. The year I had money put back to buy 2 the little shop was out of business.

And new M1 carbines were going for $125. I wish I had bought the whole barrel.C-dub wrote: ↑Thu Dec 28, 2023 4:45 pm I was so shocked at seeing the Carbine that I didn't check anything about it. I didn't look to see what year it was stamped with or anything other than the price. Next time I'm there I'll do a more thorough inspection and ask about some details. If it is WWII era for sure then it's coming home with me.
The M1A would also be nice, but since I am pretty sure it is a new one it has less value to me as an historical piece and would be more "just because."
