You did not give us a serial number, but ALL US Military M1 Carbines were made between Septemer 1941 and August 1945. Inland produced 2,632,097 M1 Carbines, and was the only maker of the M1A1 folding wire stocked carbine.
The M1 carbine in the 2-43 inland arms gen motors ssn are worth more than $100.
It would depend on the serial number, if all the parts are original, if it is in bad condition and if it has ever been restored. If you repost the question with the serial number of the gun, if it is beat up or not and if it was restored I will give you a good estimate.
This serial number was assigned to the Winchester repeating arms company for production of the M-1 Carbine from Feb.1944 thru Nov.1944.these serial number range was 5,549,822 thru 5,834,618 of which yours belongs.I hope that you find this of intrust.
Are you sure it says ARMORY and not ARMS?
Then it was manufactured before January 1, 1969, when serial numbers were not required on long arms manufactured in the US.
What model is this for? The serial number is not a Auto-5 number of Browning Arms Co. What model is this for?
So you will know it was manufactured by Winchester Repeating Arms Co.
before 1955 gun under 100 in value did not need serial numbers
manufactured by savage arms corp.utica.n.y.usa
If you are talking about a carbine, I sold one similar to it in good shape for $450 about a year ago.
Contact Olympic Arms and they can tell you.
Central Arms shotguns were made by several manufacturers, but that patent date says J Stevens Arms and Tool Co.
