I have a Universal cal. 30 M1 Carbine....the "newer" one built in Florida...it's a model 1003 with the ventilated metal shroud/hand guard. I bought it brand new in the early '80's, shot maybe 50 rounds thru it, cleaned it, oiled it, put it in the box (with the original manual and factory 5 round magazine) and never got back to playing with it. Not surprising as I'm primarily a hand gunner.
Anyway, 30 years later, I have a pristine and virtually brand new Universal Model 1003 in the box in perfect condition without a speck of rust or a single pit or scratch....I don't think the gun was anything special even back in The Day but having traveled about the 'Net on a quick search I have not found much about these rifles.
I'm not gonna shoot it....is it worth anything if I sell it? Could I maybe recover the funds to finance another project or is there any interest in these guns at all anymore?
Thanks in advance for any help or information you might offer!
