I have this M1 Carbine that I got from my step dad. I was just reaching out to the community for some help with identifying and valuing this thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks to be an early Winchester http://www.uscarbinecal30.com/serialnumbers.html

The import mark on the barrel will drop the value for some collectors.
Also the condition of the bore and rifling and if it is a total mixmaster versus mostly Winchester parts. (Opslide does not seem to be W marked, need to see trigger group and bolt makings too)
Stock figures in as well.
Could be $750-$900 ish. JMHO

This is a good resource as well: http://m1family.com/topic9.html
Thank You!
Another good reference is numbers produced by manufacturers. Although Winchester is #2 they are highly sought after by collectors because of their name.
