Sadly, didn't have the 300 bucks for it and I couldn't bring myself to haggle over it, having visions of a widow struggling to get buy on VA death benefits and social security.

I remember quite a while ago (I was 10 or 11) i saw an m1 carbine at a gun store in a small town going for $400, it appeared to be an original but since i didnt have my gun identifying skills that i have now, it might also of been one of those Universal carbines.
