.30 CALIBER WHAT?

[Zhurdan]

A couple of things....

1. As stated, DO NOT SELL IT at a gun/pawn shop!
2. Fire up the macro button on your camera and get us some pics.
3. Get a crap ton more information before even considering selling it.
4. Don't sell it!

i have an inland division m1 carbine, all original. My great grandfather bought the thing surplus after WWII. He didnt shoot it much at all, and when he died in the 60's my dad got it and shot the shit out of it. I'm pretty sure it needs a new barrel, as, towards the muzzle there is no rifling left, just little marks where it used to be lol.

if I could get the sight off the back there is more markings a serial number, and writing under the sight I can't make out, oh and there is the letters AO behind the site

[LockenLoad]

guess the AO means it's not an original

[geminidglocker]

AO may mean Auto Ordnance.

[Oscar 319]

AO= Auto Ordnance.

Even if it is not an authentic WWII production Carbine, it is still worth cleaning up, learning about and shooting.

These guns are super fun to shoot.

Auto Ordnance did contract out receivers during the war. I don't remember whom they did it. I has the type 3 barrel band and the updated rear sight. Better pictures are needed.

universal maybe I believe that's what it says under the sight

The collection could be worth some very significant money.

... Snip for brevity)....
I have no money in any guns, he left some remington rands and a colt .45 goverment issue, Hi standard supermatic citation, a sweet colt .32 made in 1924, and a colt .25 as well as a colt .22 pistol, 10 shotguns, reload stuff 1000's of rounds of ammo in various forms,

guns I want are black benelli m4, and a m4 carbine

For example , the spam can of .30 M1 Carbine ammo that you mentioned in another post might ( maybe) date from WW2. Prices on WW2 collectables have exploded in the last few years. "... some remington rands and a colt .45..." could turn out to be quite valuable as well. Market prices are mostly about originality and condition . Some detailed pic's would help to narrow things down .

Maybe , maybe not. Depends on where it is. Detailed pic's would help to narrow things down. The were 10 prime contractors producing M1 Carbines and dozens of sub-contractors.
