I have a Rockola M1 Carbine with the barrel stamped.

NDERW 000
2-44

Can't find any reference to it.

Thanks

  I was wondering if anyone knew a left handed saftey lever is avalible for the M1 Carbine or if its possible for the existing lever to be fliped around so it can be better opperated by a left-handed shooter.

  What is this one worth and is it original?
  Barrel is marked: UNDERWOOD 12-42 FLAMING BOMB. It also has the blue sky stamp. SN 19826xx. Above that is some writing but can't make it out since it is under the overhang of the rear sight. Sight is marked IH or HI. Magazine release is marked M. safety tang is marked: looks like J.A.O.
  Trigger group marked INLAND. Don't see any marks on bolt or operating rod. Stock has a P in a square and something I can't read under that. Bore is bright but appears worn.
  Appears to be Parkerized and about 90+. Any help appreciated. Tom

  Tom,
  Because your carbine is marked "Blue Sky", it was imported back here. If you look at recent sales at this site, they will likely reflect the value of your carbine, guess about $400-to-$500 range.

  I have been following the M1 carbine market for several years, & I think that you would be hard pressed to sell yours in that range. I would think $300-350 would be more likely. It has been abused by the Koreans.

  Tom,
  
  If you check past sales here on Gunbroker.com you will find bids and sales for similar carbines for more than $350.

  Thanks for all replies. A friend's widow is selling his guns and I want to give her a ballpark figure. Tom
