3.89 m with original AOB round bolt, x on the top.

Chuck- sounds like it very well should be original. When you get a chance, list the other parts that are on your inland. I would enjoy comparing it to what parts are one mine.

Not sure if you are still trying to figure this out. I'm pretty sure mine is a non-serifed P, not sure about the hack saw cut. Doesn't really look like there is one, so here is a pic, 3.89 series,...

Thanks! I ran across some production numbers and looks like less than 1% of the M1's were made by Oneida and most of these were not dated.

I don't get lucky often, but this one worked out well...

Found this bayonet on craigslist and learned later it was an uncommon one. It is stamped OL 1943, but it is an M1 and not a cut down earlier bayonet. I have 3 garands and now have 2 bayonets, still...

Thanks Duane.

Johnny- mine is real close, 740,448. Did this ship in the same shipment as the OPs?

Thanks!

Just realized that I did not post the link. Sorry about that.

The early inland stock on the gunbroker auction, does it look like it has been sanded? The butt plate to me looks like it overhangs quite a bit. I thought the wood should be "proud" of the...

First off, that's a really nice Inland. That stock is a beauty! Mine is younger, 312K, but close enough. If you want to compare pics, the link is below. Mine has a highwood oval cut with a good...

Clean it up as best you can and put some rounds down the tube. It's not perfect, but is still a great looking carbine IMO. That's a great stock!

Thanks Brian! I did read somewhere about some of the long skirts being cut to the shorter, but my concern was a longer skirt on a undated barrel. I guess I thought the undated Inland barrels from...

I know there are long and short barrel skirts. In looking at my carbines, looks like I have examples of both. I have a bit of a confusion on an Inland with an undated barrel.

The S/N is 312118...

I just received this Inland carbine over the weekend, the IBM I have had since my grandfathers passing in 2003. He brought both home, but one was sold to a neighbor (and fellow WW2 vet) a long, long...

Thanks Scott, that was one I likely would not have found! Were you asking a while back for pics of an IBM band? If so, let me know I have a real nice one.

These are some of the pics before doing a detail clean and oil. The stock also received a nice brushing internally to remove old dust and stuff, then got a nice coat of raw linseed oil.

Once the...

That is really neat! I appreciate the info.

Now I have a few other oddities about this carbine that I would like to ask about (barrel and the gas cylinder), would it be better to start another...

I picked up a 300,000K series Inland with what looks like all original inland parts. When I removed everthing to check part stamps I notices blue numbers stenciled or stamped on the inside of the...

I'm a complete novice with these rifles, such as thinking the sight was in the correct position! Live and learn. Wasted a lot of ammo trying to get this thing sighted in. At least my garand grouped...

OK guys, first off thanks a ton for the help:beerchug:. I went ahead and followed your directions and got things moved. I did take the sight apart and put a 3/4 inch piece of oak between the "ears"...

I have an 03a3 with a rear sight that is offset about 1/4" to the right. It looks like there is a line on both the base and the sight that should line up, but just looking at the sight it is fairly...
