M-1 carbine value?

[cantexduck]

I have a carbine that I have found out is a winchester 1943 . It has the WRA above GHD with the faint symbol next to it. In this case W.R.A. stands for Winchester Repeating Arms (WRA.) The inspecting officer at the time of production was (Brigadier General) Guy H. Drewry (GHD.) This stock was made sometime between June 17, 1942 and July 14, 1945.

The number 1220XX is marked on the other side of the stock and it matches the number to the rear of the peep sight.

Is this gun worth much? I have little intrest in keeping it. I was looking to see if it is worth selling to buy a new shotgun or pistol. Thanks.

Probably worth between $750 and $900 depending on condition. Have in pics?

[cantexduck]

I will take some in a few. Condition isnt that great. Looks like it is from the 40's and used. I have shot it 20 times or so in the past. Stock is full of scratches and such.

Few pictures.

I might be a little high given the condition. The wood looks rough. How's the metal? What about rifling in the barrel? Do you the original oiler and sling? Origami magazines?

[cantexduck]

Metal is good. Only have the one magazine for it. Looks good down the barrel.

What is the barrel marked? Will be right before front sight.

youre still looking at 650 easy with this rifle. they are not being imported due to EO and magazines are EXPENSIVE for these toys. what is the marking on that and what round count is it?

Before the run on "assault weapons" I saw M1's in good condition at the gun shows for $900.00-$1100.00.
