I would like to get my young son a M1 carbine in 22 lr. There is one for sale privately for 450. I think I can probably get it for 400. The owner tells me it's 96 to 98 %. He shot it little and hasn't used it for a few years. He bought it from a 70 year old gent who just liked the gun. He says the blue book value is 750 and a relative of mine who is a gunsmith priced it at 150 from a 6 year old blue book. Can anyone shed some light on this? I read some old posts and the gun seems to get good reviews from their owners. The posts however are a few years old and read that some folks paid 300 for theirs.
You should see my kid shoot his cricket bolt action. He can really reload quickly and is careful handling the rifle. I can trust him with a semi auto. He's also a WWII buff and has talked me into getting a WWII vintage M1 Carbine as well.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks for the info.
