Bookmark or Share- M-1 30 cal Carbine value - The Firearms ForumM-1 30 cal Carbine value. This is going to be probably a re-hash, however; I purchased a M-1 carbine from J&G Sales in the late 80's. The rifle had been hand picked by a employee from a pallet of others. I then used it for varmit hunting, plinking and as a general Jeep weapon (more bite than a .22) and it served me well for several years.
- Reimported M1 Carbines - The Firearms ForumBlue Sky was a major importer of M1 Carbines and Garands from Korea. Quality of what they imported varied from very poor to very good - but most of what I've seen were the poorer ones. M1 Carbines have always been my favorites - hope you enjoy yours. They are like .22s on steroids. joe45c and sharps4590.
- M1 Carbine - Blue Sky Arlington, VA | The Firearms ForumW. wonderwhippet. 1706 posts · Joined 2003. #6 · Aug 28, 2009. Blue Sky importers were notorious for stamping their name very heavily on the barrel, often distorting the bore and interfering with accuracy. Collectors look down on import marked carbines and they bring around $400 or so.
- Salt or Rust Bluing - The Firearms ForumI second Bert. Rust blue is not exceptionally hard to do. Read articles and watch videos on how to do it. The technique you use is important to the quality of the job. Salt blue is almost foolproof but takes much more outlay and is a mess to take care of. Nitre blue is entirely different and is used for small parts that get the bright blue finish.
- Scope or Red Dot for BL 22? - The Firearms ForumThe main reason is the large size (diameter) of the dot. Most of the red dots have 3 to 5 MOA dot and while that is fine for fast pickup of handgun targets it is too large for fine target shooting as it covers too much of the bullseye. If you were shooting steel plates or other targets of that size they are great and fast.
