For a gun that has rec'd so many mixed reviews over the yrs

It's surprising to me how much the 'real' carbines have appreciated.

About five years ago, I attended a large gun show with a friend who brought along an 'original' (not re-imported), high-condition, Inland M1 Carbine he wanted to sell. In my defense, I never followed the 'M1' market, but I remember thinking something like, 'I dunno. Maybe $600?'

WRONG!!!

IIRC, a dealer paid him $1400 for it.

Looking at GunBroker, it seems current asking prices for 'Paratrooper' M1 Carbines are even higher.

A LOT higher. :-(
