There realy isn't that many originals out there. If you want a collecter, buy from a well know dealer in original carbines. So, if you just want a shooter, buy one that has upgrade parts.
Some are not easy to tell from the real parts. You will find these on socalled "Original" carbines. Knowing all of what should or shouldn't be on a carbine will let you know if the price is a good one or not. Things like the marks left by once haveing a bayonet lug barrel band on the rifle or stake marks for an adjustable rear sight on early carbines. Only way to tell, is by wear marks and the color shade of those parts. A true unmolested carbine of ant maker is worth more than an assembly of correct parts. This has drove up the price of parts and increased the price of carbines. The last ten years or so, owners have been buying up parts and installing "correct" parts in them. Most carbines were rebuilt by the military. Also if it is original as issued or an assembly of parts. Value has to do with how many were made of each.
