Saginaw m1 carbine value?

[trident3339]

So, I lucked into this saginaw s.g. stamped carbine. From the research that I've done all parts seem to fit the 1943 manufacturing window and are correct for the rifle. The barrel band has a bayonet lug. It has the flat bolt, and sliding rear aperture sight. It has push button mag release and lever style safety. I have 2 stocks for it and I can't remember what they are stamped. My question is; what is it worth? Not sure I want to get rid of it yet. I bought it on impulse because it's the same kind of rifle I was taught to shoot with.

The bayonet lug front band, adjustable sight, and lever type safety are all updated parts, so not original and it has probably been through a rebuild.

dadx3 is absolutely correct... a rebuild... not all correct to 1943... Hard to give a guesttimate without photos, and a lot more info... do you have a bore gauge to measure its condition...???

Ball park, if low barrel wear and good rifling around $850-$900. Seen some on Gunbroker go for $1,000.

Here is a good reference as well. http://m1family.com/topic22.html

Bout a hundred.... I'd give you $200.

Milsurp is dead on and knows his stuff. He won't steer you wrong.

That being said... my offer stands .

Thanks guys, I guess I did pretty good for 400 bucks?

The rifling is perfect, I don't have a gauge but I do have a cmp certificate. Here are the pictures of the rifle and the various stamps.
