Found an M1

Gun Shy · 01-18-2008, 11:08 AM

Hello, I am very new to this site and know nothing about guns. My stepfather passed away last year and I found his Universal M1 Carbine. Any advice on how I would go about selling that? Or what I should expect to get for it?

Welcome aboard !
The Universal Carbines came in 3 models so it is dependant on which model and what condition it is in.
An Early model can bring up to 350.00 while a later 2nd or 3rd model runs around 250.00 in good shape. As far as selling it, advertise in the newspaper, or call a local gun shop and see if they will put it on consignment.
