It's an Inland M1 (common, I know), with serial # 500xxx.

Within about $20, what's a good figure?

And I'm looking at another one, and the seller says it's a Inland 7,07x,xxx (no pics yet). I think he has typo'd, because I'm thinking that late 6,xxx,xxx, and early 7,xxx,xxx are s/f Carbines. Is that on arsenal paper anywhere to confirm???

  I'm not sure about the value of an Inland receiver. The CMP was selling barreled receivers for $125 plus shipping. Yours being a low serial number is probably worth at least $150 to $200.
  
  The ATF will go by the marking on the receiver as to whether or not they consider it a machine gun. If the receiver is stamped M2 in any fashion (many 2s were stamped over the 1s at rebuilt) then it is always and forever a class 3 item.
  
  Good luck. I hope this helps.

  Inland was assigned SN blocks as high as 6M, 7M, & 8M.
  
  A 6 digit Inland receiver is common & rates no premium.
  
  Receiver sales are not often seen, as the high cost of parts now makes building your own carbine more expensive than buying a used one on GB. Be sure you can return any receiver you buy, as it IS possible to ruin one.
