Value of Quality Hardware M1 Carbine
Beautiful rifle. While the pictures don't give me a ton of detail, it's enough for what you're asking. It's a typical rearsenaled rifle with type 2 and type 3 enhancements. I can't read the stock stamping very well, but if it's Q-RMC then it's correct for that rifle. Upper hand guard is an original single rivet type. Overall really a nice example that has collectibility but isn't rare or desirable enough to be a safe queen. Assuming that it has no import marks, I don't think you'd have trouble getting $1200 for it. List it for a grand and it'll go right away.
Thanks! The stock lettering is very hard to see. I can only make out a QR space then a C. You also have to remove the rear sight to see the Quality Hardware Stamping.
