A co-worker is retiring and moving back home to Guatemala. Guatemala is one of those silly countries which doesn't allow its citizens to own guns in military calibers, Thus, he has to 'unload' several of the 'toys' he's acquired during his stay here. He'd already sold his SKS to another co-worker for $75.00, but when I talked to him he offered me an M1 Carbine for $150.00 which I immediately snapped up. It is, according to the barrel markings, an Underwood produced in January of '43 and came with a sling and oiler, one 15 - and two 30 -round magazines. and a 50-round box of Lake City military surplus ammunition (which I immediately used up sighting in and target shooting). The metal is fairly worn, and the stock is in pretty rough shape, but I understand M1s are getting a little uncommon so I reiterate my question:
Did I get a good deal?
