M1 Carbine bolt value?

[Norseman]

Anyone know what an M1 carbine "Flat" bolt is worth? Some are saying they are worth more than the round ones?

They are wartime, while the round ones are usually post-war. The round ones are better for "shooters" as they are stronger and less likely to fail, but the flat ones look better IMHO.

I think they carry a small premium, maybe 20% or 30% more than a round bolt.

ok, what would be a fair price to ask for one? complete? Marstar carries them stripped for $50.00 plus firing pin, extractor etc is all priced separate comes to about $100.00 plus shipping and tax, Ive got 2 ,1 complete and one stripped and a spare extractor and spring? Just wanted to know before it goes to the EE, Thanks
