I am really not looking to get a cheap one.
I really collect Garands and other US guns of WWI & II.
I need a nice example of a Carbine.
I am willing to bet that about 98% of all carbines offered for sale have been rebuilt or at least one or more parts changed from original. Get some books (Ruth, Riesch) and read here on this site. Bottom line is educate yourself. I have had quite a few carbines in my time. I only found one that had not been putzed with, it was a 7.27 Winchester and it took me a couple of days of studying it, and reading and then asking questions before I came to realize it was genuine.
