Help with selling carbine

I'm selling my Universal carbine to purchase something more practical, but I wanted to get some sort of rough estimate before I start posting it anywhere.

It's in fine firing condition, and I've never had the problems with it firing out of battery that I've heard about.


I did recently lose a small keeper for the rear sight, visible here.





Aside from that, the gun is pretty much flawless. It shoots great for it's age, almost never jams or misfires. I have one 15 round magazine and one 20 round, along with the .30 cal reloading tools. I doubt I'll be able to sell the whole thing as a set, but if anyone could give me an idea of what I might get for the rifle at least I'd appreciate it

Depends on the geographic area in which you reside. Here in the mid-west they go for $400.

In case you didn't know, that brand is not a USGI firearm, and as such is worth much less than the real thing.
