Import marked? Look at gunbroker or auctionarms for prices. I won't pay above CMP prices.

How do I tell if it's import marked?

If your looking for any information on a Battle rifle the CMP is the place to go.

The receiver will likely say inland on it.
Look under the rear sight where it may be obscured.
Value will most likely be from 450-650 depending on condition.
It sounds like one of the Greek rifles that the CMP was selling a while back.

Thanks for the link guys, I'll check that out. I can see some sort of stamp under the rear sight, but I can't make out what it says. I can't figure out how to remove the sight to see either. My father had this rifle for years but he has now passed away and I have no use for it.

Pix would be nice... Stock cartouch sounds like it's an arsenal rebuild, most carbines are these days. Reciever maker ? If it's Inland, for a rebuild, should be around $500 to $600. Depending on bore condition and overall finish it could be less than that.
