Since the M2 is the select fire version of the M1 carbine; if you got this for $840 as per the GunBroker ad, you got something of a deal. That being said, if the M1 carbine is not "import marked", it was still a heck of a good buy. Congratulations!

As I read it he has an M2 but also just purchased that rifle. I have seen many imported rifles sell for more then 850. Having said that an import mark is a part of the history, Not sure it matters either way. Too many variables to generalize an import mark as a deciding factor if its a good deal.

Not to split hairs, but.... I use this CMP forum at M1 Carbine - CMP Forums for the real low down on M1 carbine collectors/traders and as a general guide for any and all M1 carbine things. I agree that the "import mark" is subject discussion but if you look at the buy/sell prices therein, the "import mark" degrades the value of a given carbine by a couple of hundred, in nearly all cases. My comment about the M2 was poorly worded. I was reflecting on the fact that the GunBroker headline had "M1 carbine underwood, M2......"

I was amazed at the accuracy! Especially considering the terrible trigger.

This is my IBM. It's about a 1944 issue with no import marks. Just had it out on Thursday.

That is one frigin SWEEEET m1 carbine. The ones like yours with all early parts are the best IMHO. If only it could talk the stories it could tell.

What is considered early?

1943 National Postal Meter after the rifle range day a few years ago. I ran the rifle course with a line of other Sheriff Deputies and department AR-15 rifles. It was fun and the carbine did well

 

[Winamac]

What is considered early?

Rear "L" flip site, thin front barrel band with no bayonet lug, push button safety, flat bolt, and in some cases a "high wood" stock and even earlier a "high wood" stock with a "I" cut oiler slot.
