    Your camera needs glasses.

    Now everyone knows what my vision is like without my glasses! Of course John's ID is correct. It appears to be investment cast, which would make it a post war replacement part.

    Thanks for the ID. This brings up another Question. Is it legal to sell? Are there any restrictions? OK, two Questions! Thanks.

    It is just a selector and by itself won't do anything to convert an M1 carbine to selective fire. However, when used with the right combination of other parts... :o

    I believe that Washington State bans machine gun parts and components, so this would fall under that category in Washington.

    Any idea of value?

    $30 give or take. Genuine WWII selectors are worth considerably more. There is a looped-wire spring which needs to accompany the selector. Check the bottom of that parts box!

    This is definately not cast. It haas a Capital a stamped on it. Sorry about my camera quality but it is all I have.

    I don't know the carbine manufacturers code for Capital, but in that case it is worth $50+

    Unfortunately, carbines are not my specialty. If this was an M1 Rifle part I could offer far more assistance.

    The "A" is for "automatic"; it's a selector switch.
    ATF has a list of about 7 or 8 parts necessary to convert an M1 carbine to M2 configuration.  All of these parts together are considered by ATF to be an "M2 carbine kit", & would need to be registered & 1 must have a SN to be considered legal.  Possession of most of these parts is considered legal.
    So, possession of just 1 of these parts is legal.
    This is not legal advice since I am not a lawyer; it is provided solely for amusement.
