Inland & NPM Carbines - please help review

[anton67]

Hello,
I am considering bidding on one of these M1 Carbines - Inland or NPM.
I am looking for a collector rifle.
I would like to know to what extent they look correct vs Frankenstein pieces.
Also, any thoughts as to value - I am trying to figure out how high I should bid (if it is in fact either are worth bidding on).
Thank you in advance.

FIRST UP IS THE INLAND M1 CARBINE

Thank you again for your help.

If it were me I would grab the Inland. The NPM has some problems.

What are the problems? Are not NPM's a lot rarer? Do I see stake marks under the flip sight? What is the X suffix on the Inland?

[jimb]

An x suffix is a duplicate serial number. They are very scarce. I agree with Tuna, The NPM doesn't look right. Not a subject that we generally discuss in detail on the open forum.

So what is a reasonable price for this Carbine?
What is FMV at this time?
I need to figure what I will offer.

Big secret? Hurt some ones feeling? They sure discuss it on M1, Mauser, etc. forums!
