Ok, the itch for a M1 carbine has bitten me pretty badly.
I have taken inventory of a group of rifles I no longer find interesting enough to keep and am looking to trade them in.
Before I get them all out of storage, photograph them, and place an official ad, I wanted to get some opinions whether or not it is a feasible trade.
What I want:
WWII issue M1 Carbine, CMP Service grade or better, with priory toward nice metal over nice wood. Plus a handful of magazines and a bayonet.
What I am willing to part with, (Three for One Trade).
French MAS MLE 1936, 7.5mm, Serial Number: N 96XXX, bayonet, Nicest gun in set.
Mauser K98, 8mm, bcd 43, gun has non-matching parts, Serial Number: 31XX S, used condition.
Carcano Carbine, 6.5mm, Model 38 Terni, Serial Number: OK 82XX, folding bayonet, used condition
Ok, is this a viable trade? Obviously the trade would have to go through a FFL both ways, if not FTF in my area. But other than that, I don't want any cash involved. There could be a few clips and 20+ surplus cartridges for the Carcano, Mauser and MAS if the other party had something to offer in return.
Thanks for your opinions,
