    Default Ruger Mini 30 and US Carbine M1 For Sale

    Looking for a idea on value if I wanted to sell this rifle.

    It was my dads and I am not sure if he ever fired it. It is a 1971 Marlin 30 30 and it very nice looking.







    Let me know, Thanks,

    Ray

    The older pre-remington Marlins are desirable, especially that vintage in great condition like that. I'm thinking at least $400 w/o the scope. Even if that is a mediocre scope I think $500 would be a good asking price.

    I've seen them go cheap, in fact, mine was $200, but yeah, $400-500 is about right



    mine was a special case, guy bought it new, and the kick scared him..........he offed it cheap and bought a .44 mag lever gun

    I got both of my Marlin 30/30s about 10 years ago for $200 apiece which was a steal at that time. This is a nicer rifle so I think $500 is a good starting point. Marlin freaks like these older ones.

    With that M1 Carbine, condition, and markings/originality will be the key. Does it have CMP/DCM paperwork? Is it import marked? What are the throat and muzzle wear numbers? The makeup of the parts will also affect value, what is Underwood, and what has been re-arsenal swapped out. The receiver/bolt/barrel are the major components to hopefully be matching. Pricing can range from $600 -1,000ish depending on many factors.

    Underwood was one of the builders for these rifles. I do not have any paperwork for it that I have found yet.

    Yes, I understand that Underwood was one of the manufacturers of the USGI M1 Carbines, and then their was the commercial producers of the rifles for the masses as well.

    It's kinda my thing ya know........Guns and all.

    Having said that, the factors I mentioned will dictate the value of the carbine, as collectors are a finicky bunch with regards to originality of the rifles they buy. Underwood is one of 11 manufacturers, and the third most common, so they are not too rare of a maker to find, behind Inland and Winchester. CMP paperwork would help increase the value as a letter of provenance, avoiding the possibility that the rifle was/is an import rifle.
