Very nice and really early number. Possibly didn't see anything except initial issue and then was stolen clean away. I had an M2 that was first run of serial number and was as new. I know for a fact it was stolen after initial issue, I traded it from the man that bought it from the guy that stole it... It was perfect, like yours.
Not stolen, they were "liberated."

Wow...its perfect....you could sell it and almost fill your gas tank in California. Seriously, that is an incredible find and kudos to the person who had it before you for preserving it so well. A true beauty!

Thank You Hammer,
A very nice example.
Having the Grand Slam of Slingwell markings.
Surely warms up a Damp Chilly evening.
I enjoyed the 7 Rifle (Lucky number) rack your Father built.
Question? Is the Leaf on the Flip sight marked?
Safe Weekend,

The Leaf Sight base is marked but not the leaf sight itself.

Or is that a really small Y in a box on the right side of the 300 yard flip site?

Hammer, That is an outstanding early Inland carbine and I know this because I am a pervious owner of it. I bought it 6 years ago on GunBroker and sold it 2 years later. If you can get a copy of the Carbine Club Newsletter #346 there is an extensive article on "Inland's First Serial Number Block" you will find your carbine is completely correct and I have no doubt all the parts are all original to each other.
I thought more of it being a stay back than a bring back. It is in fantastic condition but not the characteristics of one that saw action, it's pretty but no battle scars. I took great pleasure owning it, hope you do too.
To Charlies question regarding the Extractor Plunger, it is a Type 1 conical/cone w/long stem. The Extractor is a Type 1 as well.
