Happy New Year
Happy New Year to all and thank you for welcoming me to this website. My teenage son and I are avid WW2 history buffs and recently began acquiring battle rifles from US, UK and Germany in the ETO. We welcome the advice and knowledge from all of you and look forward to being a part of this community.
We recently bought an Inland M1 Carbine with correct barrel date 1/44 and transitional updates for the serial number. This rifle has a number "3" on the left side and below the rear sight aperture - where the refurbishing armorer mark would go. Does anyone know what the "3" represents in this case?
Regards,
Scott

New here, Looking for 6.5x55 Swedish brass. Especially IGMAN. It's the stuff that is a pain in the *** to reload. You will know it when your decapping pin breaks multiple times as you scratch your head. Flash hole is too small and has to be drilled out and the primer pocket is also too small to accept new primers. If you have this, I can convert it and bring it back to life for reloading. Will buy on the cheap. Thank you

Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen
Having just joined, a little history: I collect pre-war sporting Rifles sporting calibres and
pre-war civilian Telescopic sights but I have 2 WW1 sniper scopes one A5 and one Aldis Brothers and one civilian PPCo.
The next project is MK 111 Marching Compass, but having read quite deep on the subject Radium 226 is no fun but dangerous.
I will put out a post when I have a MK 111 to ask for some help and advive.
Happy New Year to one and all.
Thank you
Parchment
