Condition is good, but price IMHO is about $200-150 high.
EDIT:In the new pictures, it looks like the last letters are worn off. Or were taken off when rebuilt.
Gun is just a shooter, nothing more [;)]0 -
Is the mis spelling rare and if so what kind of value gets put on it ? 0 -
As it applies to firearms, mis-markings are merely a curiosity, and they in of themself do not add any premium value what-so-ever to the gun. 0 -
The seller takes an up close photo of exactly the area where the "misspelling" occurs - and he doesn't pull back the bolt so we can see it? I don't think it's a misspell, maybe a poor stamp but misspell would be "carnibe" or some such thing.
I don't think the poor stamp adds any value, I think I'd prefer to not have it.
I paid $500.00 last year for an Inland with a better stock, an L sight & push button safety with a thin barrel band. I'm told I got a good deal, but I think this one should sell for about the same.0 -
He doesn't describe the bore condition & wear. He also doesn't say "Not import marked".
So, you have to assume the worse. Sold "as is", $400 would be my top bid for a refinished mixed parts rebuild.

Im sorry this is the correct listing with the pics added at end. It is not an import and barrel is excellent !! I just took this in and trying to get an idea of its value.. Im not good with the military stuff..0 -
$500.00 would be a place to start. 0 -
Is there a photo of the mis spelled word? I can't find it. It looks like a very typical rebuilt M1 carbine (marked with the Ogden rebuild stamp), not much different than thousands of others that I've seen. CARBIN or CARBINE (the E probably wore away over the years) spelling errors on firearms add little if anything to their value. 0 -
MFI Re-list it at $500. This time show one additional photo, a closeup of the right side of the receiver (with the op-rod locked to the rear) showing the absent "E". Don't even bother trying to explain the mis-strike nonsense.
I think it's an "honest" surplus firearm, and the absence of the final "E" will show in the photo. Up to the buyer to look at them, and decide. Best, Joe0 -

My guess is that it was a m2 marked receiver and 2 in m2 was removed and the e in carbine got removed too. Look again and think about it .

The serial number on the receiver is well outside the Inland M2 range.0
