Depends on a lot really.

If it is the non restricted, then more. Less if it is the restricted version.

If it's original and in good shape, then quite a bit.

If it is the modern reproduction, then do what most of us do and take around 20% off the purchase price for a used firearm. Maybe more, maybe less depending on condition.

I'd personally would pay 400-500 for a M1 carbine in decent shape.

Some people think they are gods gift and try to sell then for 2500, but then they sit on EE for 2 years and then disappear.

Just use common sense and you will be fine.

Is it a rebuild? Most were rebuilt after WW2. If not - and there are a few in Northern BC that I'm aware of that were "Alaska Highway" issued guns which were never put through the post war refit, it's worth more. High wood, a flat bolt, no bayonet lug/shroud thingy, and a push button safety would make it early style. Pot belly stock, round bolt, bayonet lug/shroud thingy, and a rotating lever safety are indicators of a later gun, or a factory rebuild. Photos of the rifle from the side and photos of the trigger group from the left and right would tell for sure. Locally (Victoria) a carbine will go for $550-650 for a run of the mill gun in usable condition - but I have seen a non-rebuilt early version go for $1100. A gun with an NR barrel on it will go for $875-$975.

Looks like a german? rebuild, where they removed the rear aperture sights and welded on notch sights for ease of familiarity.

Wood looks really good though.

Looks fantastic for it's age, too bad the germans butchered the sights

That is a nice rig. Ditto on the German sight tapering. Have you fired it?

The matching numbers were all put on by the Germans and not Inland.
