That peticular auction ended. I saw that he had like 10 left that didn't sell so you could probably message him if you're wanting one. Or check out his other listings. He has lots of cool WWII stuff.

Nice sling and great condition. The c tips on the one I received were rusted a decent amount. I'm not complaining though. I requested a khaki one due to the carbine it was going on being a very early...

Picked mine up from post office today. It's the real deal. Very happy with my purchase.

Still better than the $200+ I've been seeing asked for WWII ones.

The days of cheap carbine parts are behind us I fear.

Thanks for the feedback on the seller. Makes me feel better about the...

The other items is what made me decide to buy. Looks like he specializes in WWII items and everything looked to be correctly identified and so on. I'll update when mine arrives.

Guy out of Italy on eBay has a fairly big batch of carbine slings for sale. Only one picture but seems righteous. Looks like an auction lot from a parts crate or arsenal, something like that. Looks...

I hadn't considered field upgrades. This mixmaster is my shooter. Fun little piece.

After looking again I think my rifle has the black oxide finish as opposed to parkerizing. One of the members graciously sent me the carbine club newsletter that explains this very well. Like many I...

The cartouche is there. Just almost invisible. I'm just puzzled by the lack of arsenal mark.

It has the P on the front of the pistol grip, the adjustable site, and most telling, the bayonet stud...

With the great knowledge being provided on my Inland thread, I thought I'd see if anyone might have some insight into a mystery that has me stumped.

I have a Standard Products 2,509,xxx with an...

It's definitely of the parkerized style. I just learned of the two tone effect on some of the earlier ones and need to take it back apart to see if that exists.

I know there is a definite two...

Shrapnel?

I'd like to see a picture of that.

I'm afraid I have to disagree with you on the finish. The finish matches my other carbine, and every other carbine I've ever handled.

A quick google image search als shows a somewhat "gloss" like...

Thanks Volvo and everyone else. I have no intentions of modifying the gun with the exception of putting a correct sling on it. I figure since the oiler is original, the sling won't hurt anything to...

Thank you.

I'm curious what makes it look sanded? There are some areas like around the pistol grip where some of the luster has worn off but really only in areas that see a lot of hand action.

I'm familiar with the three markings in the sling well.

There is some other sort of something on the top of the stock, even with the words at the front of the receiver. Almost looks like a...

I have added the images you requested as well as a few additional ones. Would you mind educating me about what you're looking for? Always want to learn new things from the experts.

I've also...

Thanks Shady and Jack! Good to see you from the other forum too!

Deldriver thanks for taking a look and the input about the butt plate.

I'll get those pictures posted after doing the Mother's...

Greetings,
I posted this on another forum but it didn't seem to be as active as this one, and I didn't get a whole lot of feedback.

I have recently purchased an early Inland that I *believe* may...
