Is it a true M2 original C&R or one that was made up by Springfield armory and "stamped" ? back in those good old days, the Reese Bros. were buying M1s and registering them as M2s, and creating a transferable M2 - in the case of the Winchesters they were over stamping them just like the originals. As we live in a C&R only state here, "C&R" is a big deal. I had several guys fall not the trap of buying the guns and not understanding the rules. the guns would transfer to me just fine asan SOT, but would fail to clear the C&R hurdle. there were also a batch of M1s converted by the Minneapolis PD in the mid 60s and amnesty registered in 68 for "riot use". these were eventually sold off to officers, and have been migrating around the state. they are generally not originals but do pop up as C&R amnesty guns.
all that said, assuming it is an original WIN M2, in decent condition, the last one I saw sell at auction was around $14k. I have one here in superb original shape. I would not sell it for $14k. It is one f these - there is an Inland M2 as well.
