[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 1491555, member: 7157"] As the others here have said, it depends on the condition of your Carbine, and which parts were made by what manufacturer. The better the condition, and the higher the Winchester parts content, the more valuable it'll be. SMS is right in linking you to the CMP site to get an idea for baseline Carbine prices, but keep in mind the non-auction Carbines are at best mix-masters. If that's what you have, then you can start with the CMP prices, and figure in a premium considering the CMP currently has no Carbines for sale outside of their auction venue. If you have CMP paperwork showing your Carbine came from them, that'd help a bit but isn't necessary. An import stamp on the barrel, or worse the receiver, will hurt your Carbine's value - how much, is in the eye of the buyer. Having said all that, for a WRA M1 Carbine in good condition with a shiny bore that doesn't swallow a M2 Ball round (muzzle wear < 3), average parts content (i.e., one or two WRA parts besides the receiver), and no splits, cracks, or repairs in the M1 stock (not M2 potbelly), you'd be looking at $650 or so to start. With more WRA parts, flip rear sight, Type 1 or 2 barrel band, etc., the price can get up over $1000 in a hurry. PM me if you'd like more info, but I'll need an accurate parts breakdown to give you a better idea of your Carbine's value. [/QUOTE]
