Early Rock-ola too. With a P. Not too familiar with the late serial block, but I would think the Inland would fall into that.

I was reading some old post, you showed a 1,778. I was wondering do you remember what barrel it had ? Thanks Chris

In that range Underwood 3-43 or 4-43 is what I've seen most commonly. Make sure to look for the small P proof on it. Good luck finding the correct barrel these days.

IP received 50 barrels from Rock-Ola in late 1942 and no more till February 1943. They also received 60 barrels from Underwood in late 1942 and another 3000 in January 1943. The first Buffalo Arms barrels were in June of 1943 and Inland, IBM, Saginaw plus some from RIA were from September through December 1943.

Sorry, don't remember the serial number now, but the CMP rifle has a 3-43 barrel I believe. Maybe?
