    I want a .30 carbine

    it doesn't have to be in perfect condition,,, some wear is ok. How much do you think I should expect to pay? I would really ideally like to get a hold of an Underwood and even better if it had a Singer receiver... What do you think my chances are? It's the only rifle I have interest in, my childhood favorite.

    One of my all time favorite long guns (although it barely qualifies as long)...I'm PM'ing you the name and contact info of the person who probably knows as much as anyone on the planet about M-1 carbines since David Williams died...I know her personally and have done business with her...

    My only advice on buying one is stay away from the civilian copies such as Universal......Ben

    I'd love to have one, but too pricey for me.

    Wish I'd bought one 40 years ago when they were cheap.
