I know this is scant info, but can anyone give me an idea of what an M-1 carbine made in Saginaw in about 80% condition would be worth assuming all the numbers match? Were any of the reproductions made in Saginaw? Again sketchy info, but would like to know before I go to pains to track this down.....

Thanks,
Dan

  I know I'll most likely get varied opinions on this one, but possibly a consensus. Which is what I'm looking for. I purchased a newly manufactured Isreal Arms International M-1 carbine recently. I'm not knocking IAI, however, some of the fit and finish in my humble opion needs work. If I wanted to have the gun blued to a highly polished royal blue, a new "select" walnut stock and hand gaurd added with a beautiful laquer finish put on with special attention to fit, and have someone go over the entire reciever,bolt,etc, with painstaking care to make this a "best" you can get for reliablity, beauty, and funtionality. Who would in your opinion be "THE" authority on M-1 carbine's w/ a shop or if the individual himself can do it would I send it to, money not not being an issue. And lastly someone who is easy to work with. Any input is greatly appreciated.

  You probably should have kept it in the original thread but to answer your question between Feb 1944 and Nov 1944
