Yes, repo flip sight and barrel band, late Inland front sight.

That sure looks like JB Weld on the dove tail!
Bill,
I think it's Silly Putty..... Maybe that new book shows this was a in house repair, to salvage a receiver !!
See the Trigger Housing also has the added oil lube/drain hole on the left side.

It looks like what ever it is on the dove tail is cracking under the strain of the not so good repo rear sight. AND it sold for $2200 to an unsuspecting buyer who got taken big time.
Looks like the buyer likes being taken he also bought a 44 WRA for Sam-T-Bob a couple weeks ago also.
Looking farther back in the buyers feedback, he's bought a total of 3 times from S-T-B.
Also look at the WRA CC stamp, W slingwell stamp and "EW" safety on that 44 WRA......
This seller doesn't give up.
Wonder if they'll be publishing a book soon ?

Anyone know the buyer? Could it be a shill bidder?
I know the seller.
Bought an Inland carbine from him that had several flaws he forgot to mention in the description. All were post war parts that are easily replaced with genuine Inland parts but, while he may not lie about the gun, he omits mention of what isn't correct. A lie by omission is still a lie. I would avoid this seller.
That's my guess.Quote:
