shane welcome to the forum. Yes we love our carbines over here and the members here are the most knowledgable guys and gals you will find on the subject of carbines. Can you post a pic of the serial number of your rifle. It looks like an early Inland witch has been through a rebuild and possibly been reparked. The stock is a post WW2 M2. The sling and case look like they are reproductions. Does it have any import stamps on the bottom of the barrel? If the bore is good I think you have a good shooter and are going to have a ball with it at the range.....Frank

Lots of good markings on those parts. Easy to identify. Undoubtably a rebuild. No shame in that though, it'll make an excellent shooter.

Nice early number from about May 1943, so barrel looks to be original to the receiver. R maked over SG for Rock-Ola on the recoil plate, that's nice.
I'd leave it as is and take it out and shoot it. Let us know how it operates.
Pretty nice gift you inherited, enjoy it.

ShaneIrish,
A very good starter book for under $25 for you would be the ...
U.S. M1 Carbines,

6th edition is available now.
It has some errors, but makes for a great starter book by giving you parts markings, disassembly/assembly procedure...etc.
A little reading with illustrations will be of great help to you.
Here is a link to one on Amazon......

Nice carbine. Looks almost identical to my CMP Inland I got a few years ago. If it shoots as well as mine, you will be pleased. GREAT little rifles.
