With The bolt closed in the forward position drop a cleaning rod down the barrel and mark where it meets the muzzle end of the barrel. take out the cleaning rod and then measure from the end of that rod to the mark you made. it would be a minimum of 18.5 inches in order to be non restricted. if its 18 inches then it is restricted. If its restricted you could probally still sell it to a gunshop/gunsmith as they could verify it and register it to themselves.

hmmmm i just did that and its just about 19 thank god i though i just wasted $450 haha thank you
 
you may also want to get a flashlight or bore light and look at the muzzle end of the barrel, years ago people soldered on an extension to make the barrels non restricted. this practice is no longer legal. if you notice that there is an area where it appears there are 2 different rifling profiles ( somone soldered on an extension made from a leftover section of another barrel ) or that there is a section with absoulutly no rifling then technically the rifle needs to be registed as restricted. you can get after market non restricted barrels and I believe bits and pieces in vancouver can re line M1 carbine barrels as well.

i see rifling thank god haha
 
Do a quick google search, the early ones were ok, on the latest ones they cheaped out, aluminum trigger assembly, ejection problems, out of battery fire, not interchangeable parts with usgi parts etc.
 
Go easy, might be a simple fix. Find a gunsmith that will check it over, or maybe a nutter can take a look at it for you. Might just need a little tweaking. The barrel is worth a couple hundred bucks at least...have a cig, calm down and step away from the blowtorch.
