    IR Filter for M3 Scope

    Just found this when looking for something else.

    If you can see the bulb through the filter with the light off what you have isn't what was made for the scope. If the lamp is on the glow of the...
  2. I realize this seems to get to the point of...

    I realize this seems to get to the point of beating a dead horse early on. But there is more to this than informing potential buyers, hearing from others and their experiences and my research.

    One...
  3. Auto Ordnance on the left, GI on the right....

    Auto Ordnance on the left, GI on the right. Stocks used by Chiappa for their M1-22 and M1-9 carbine replicas have the same issue. The new Inland Mfg uses the same source for stocks as AO but cuts a...

    Now that got a good laugh out of me.

    In defense of those who opt to buy a new commercial carbine instead of a GI carbine, keeping in mind my personal preference is the GI carbines, wandering...
  5. I think the attraction to the Inland carbines...

    I think the attraction to the Inland carbines over a GI carbine is twofold. First, the name is one people like because of it's history.

    More importantly, some people don't want to mess with trying...

    James River bolts may or may not work in a commercial Inland or Auto-Ordnance carbine. This is true of any bolt other than those specifically made for Inland and Auto-Ordnance. Just because the bolt...

    Gary

    Every manufacturer of almost everything fights a constant struggle of overhead costs, supply and demands and how much profit they need to make to survive ... or profit. Each owner has their...

    There is a web page coming devoted to Inland Manufacturing and their carbines. I've intentionally held off to see if they were going to correct the main issues. Particularly the soft bolts, as they...

    After the break-in period of 250-300 rounds most of the Inland Mfg carbines function okay. The gas piston nut does not need to be staked if it's seated tight and doesn't move. Staking was an option...
  10. Parts Interchangeability

    The mag catch and safety are interchangeable. Many other parts are too.

    But the bolt may or may not be. Just because it fits doesn't mean it will function.

    Bolts made for Inland and...

    When he chambers the first round notice he has to hit the slide handle to get the bolt to close on the round. This has been a consistent need with their Inland (and new Auto Ordnance). May happen...
  12. The carbine stocks used by Inland and Auto...

    The carbine stocks used by Inland and Auto Ordnance are made by Altamont in Illinois. I bought one of their first stocks maybe 5 years ago when someone clued me in to a new carbine stock maker and...
  13. M1A1 Stock used by Inland & Auto Ordnance

    The wood stock and handguard are made by Altamont Company in Illinois for both Inland and Auto Ordnance. They use someone else to manufacture the folding part of the stock.

    The thickness of the...

    MoonWolf

    The new Inland and Auto Ordnance carbines have a break-in period of about 300-400 rounds. The more you fire them during those first 400 the less problems they have with jamming. I just...

    Historically Inland has been pretty good about customer service calls.

    The stocks and handguards used by "Inland" are made by the same company who makes them for Auto Ordnance. They are not...

    I'm wondering if you've fired a bunch of the Armscor, Federal and Aguila with the same results as these three casings on all casings by each manufacturer. If not, I'd suggest firing more of the...
  17. sieggie, What causes the bulging of the case...

    sieggie,

    What causes the bulging of the case is the expansion of the gases when the cartridge is fired, into the form of the chamber. That there is a bulge indicates there is an out of spec area...
  18. Polishing the feedramp

    Time to get my hands on another current production new one and see if the production runs are now using the properly hardened bolt. I hope so.

    The statement they made about polishing the feed...
  19. Gas Piston Nut tool

    The tool for tightening and loosening the gas piston nut runs about $20. A number of more inventive people than me have made their own.

  20. The GI standard for hardening of the bolt was RC...

    The GI standard for hardening of the bolt was RC 38-43 with a second hardening of the rear of the bolt at RC 48-54. I have yet to see a commercial bolt with the rear hardened to GI standard. The ones...

    Did you happen to notice the serial numbers of those used for demonstration at the Shot Show in January? The one the Rc numbers are posted for above, S/N 9001837, was sent to me by Inland in...
  22. Hardness test Results

    Numbers are from two separate tests done on each part listed. Both carbines were obtained new and have not been fired unless done so at the manufacturer.

    All numbers are Rockwell C scale

    I don't think the topics here have been about Ron Norton. The main focus has been the carbines currently being made by Inland. The thread asks for comments by those with 1st hand experience to...

    Buttons on that batch of leather slings I posted earlier were brass, plastic or steel. Vast majority were brass. Plastic was on the ones without the Stolla markings and I assume those came...

    Not uncommon to find wooden dowels or plastic rods used in lieu of an oiler to hold the leather slings in place on the carbines used by the Austrian Gendarmerie. Far as I know it was a Austrian...
