I have a WWII Inland M1 carbine my dad brought it back for the south pacific I have seen them for sale from 800 to 2500 what's the big price difference all about ser is 670xxxx ?
probably not going to sell it because of the sentimental value but I was just trying to figure out the big difference ?
thanks0 -
Price factors include if it is a import or not, original parts, mfg of it, condiditon, if it has been rebuilt or not and a few other things. 0 -
If you would like to post photos of it (including shots close enough that we can actually read the markings), we may be able to help you figure out what you have there. We respect (actually, encourage) your decision to keep it.
Or, you can try to figure it out for yourself. An inexpensive paperback ---- US M1 Carbines, Wartime Production by Craig Riesch--- has enough details to determine what each part is.

Over 6 million carbines were produced during WWII and they stayed in service for many years. Because of this most went through a rebuilding process, often more than once. The higher end examples are close to or (we can all dream) original. Inland is the most common of the carbines and to bring top $$$ an example has to be nearly unmodified and in nice condition. Import marked carbines (as CF already mentions) are always worth less money that example watch don't carry an import stamp. Photos are a must but just to give you an idea; how clsoe to this is your example?

Notice the non adjsutable rear sight, lack of a bayonet lug and the push-button safety.0 -
Of course your's is very late (6.7mill) so it probably originally came with a bayo lug and adjustable rear sight.
