I'm not that good at math but I think its more of a 72 year old rifle.

.....
Item Description: 87 years old m-1 carbine. Made by the Newport meter company. They only made this rifle for six months. It's very rare collector item. I have it priced for a quick sale . Please, no low balling. My price is firm.

In for close-up pic of the receiver. I've never heard of a contract for M1 carbines going to a company with that name. It's a National Postal Meter carbine or I'm about to learn something new today.

Also, give us the serial number so we can verify manufacture date.

Might also strip it down and show the build marks on all the major parts.

Rear sights, safety button/lever, bolt, even the barrel band.

Helps validate value and condition.

Well it sure seems to be a nice rifle but I have to question the stated manufacture. Take a close look and I believe you will find it is a National Postal Meter. The old war horse has definitely been through a rebuild judging by the barrel band and rear sight. Check the stock for any stamp marks or numbering. Check the barrel also for any possible import marks. These old rifles got around and most of them are pot luck surprise when it comes to components. If you can post a pic of muzzle wear with a gauge.
