If the OP is looking for a shooter, the Plainfield (for the right price) might be for him. If you find even a small amount of damage do not fire the weapon.

30 caliber Carbine within this serial number block it is strongly recommended you examine and continue to examine the barrel in the area of the gas piston for any damage to the barrel.

But mine is priceless since my daughter refers to it as "her carbine." 130,000 and 299,999: If you own a Universal Firearms. Armed Forces only carbines and makes any commercially made carbine an "out-of-competition" firearm was just writen because these Plainfields & Alpine carbines can be ringers.Īgree with the other posters that Plainfields are worth something in the $400 range. I have always suspected that CMP rule 6.3.5 which requires As-Issued by the U.S. My daughter used it in local Vintage Military Rifle Matches because of its accuracy. From 3 feet and placed next to my USGI carbines, only the finish on the Plainfield points it out as a non issued carbine. In the late 80s I put a walnut USGI stock and bayonet mount on it from Numrich. Other than the receiver & barrel, everything on it is USGI. Given to me as a gift from my Dad in the early 70s, he said it was like the one he carried in the Korean War. I have one of those Dunellen Plainfields. If you have one made in Dunellen, it's a earlier., Plainfield receiver on a Plainfield barrel with all USGI parts.
