Inland 6,237,205 to early for Flip Safety?

painter777 · 11-03-2009, 05:23 PM

Just got some pictures (not great ones) of a 6,2 mil Inland that came out of a Depot years ago. I forget what depot and he did tell me as he still has the original box and paperwork. The guy contacted me thru a dealer I know. He sent his stock to me to refinish for him. Stock needed nothing more than to be dusted off. He had took off a 4 rivet OI hand guard because of a couple loose rivets, it too was in great shape. I tightened up the rivets and just sent it back. His pics show it with another HG he had on it. From what I've asked and can see he's got a 99% as issued late Inland on his hands. Only thing is it has a flip safety and I didn't ask about a marking on it. Everything I can make out from his pics are amazing. Every marking he looked for while on the phone with me sure enough was Inland. You know how when your dealing with someone who just doesn't know where to look? And you walk them thru it, well this was the case. His stock was the nicest late Inland stock I've ever held. Still had the filing or rasping marks behind the grip. CC has a double strike from the rebound. No other markings than the OI in the slingwell and small OI in the barrel channel. I'm filling out a Data sheet on what I can see and have asked for better pics,

Here are a few of the better ones he passed along.
I guess he's trying to put a value on it as it's heading to GB.

Is a 6,2 to early for a flip safety?

Yes .

Charlie, my 6227515 Inland has a type III sight.

I know what you mean about the never sanded wood Charlie.

The completely correct late Inland I used to have had those rasping and milling marks.

It had a flip safety but higher number -

If he sells it I'm afraid to see how much it goes for.

It was released and sold from Red River in 64. Been in the box since. Never fired since being bought.
Sounds like if it doesn't sell thru their gun club it will be on GB by weekend.
I just got better pics, very very nice !! Will try to share some Thursday.
Off to work.

Could you give a brief explanation of how you tightened the handquard rivets. I've got a really nice JLB 2 rivet that needs tightened but I'm concerned about breaking the wood.
TIA-Mike

Hi Mike,
I use a small 1/2" long threaded bolt that just fits in to the top opening, so it's sitting on top of the rivet head.
On the bottom side I use a set of angled needle nosed pliers and gently pressed the end of the bolt while rolling over the edges of the rivet back down.
If the rivet has pulled loose I punch it back out. Then try to recycle it by bending the crimped end straight again.

Resting the top with the bolt head setting on the bench and a nail set has worked also.
Nothing by the book...I'm sure ;-)

You're a painter Charlie. Aren't you afraid the iron worker's union might file a grievance?

Actually, your method sounds good. - Thanks!

Charlie - I just came in from sharpening some chain saw chains in my shop and read your post.
Before I try your idea I think I'm gonna go over to see a buddy at the local STIHL Dealership and see if the tool he uses to remove/add links to saw chains or when he makes up chains from bulk reels.
Various rivet sizes and has the brace and roller head for tightening the chain rivets.
Thanks for the "Brain Fart" and I'll report back if it works!!

Solly Cholly, you said "flip safety" not flip sight!

See what happens when I don't have a rum and Coke?

He He He!
