I was in a couple of other forum and came across a Topic from CMP about some Inlands they have seeen a 44 and a 45 without the Month and there are pics of tbem. The 45 picture was not there no more, but ive been searching for a month on mine '45 Inland and cant seem to find a month. Now did they marked the month very light and besides the name and year are there but very worn, but all i see is the 45, Thanks

Also they were saying this is not rare to see this, but most have them, but say they are plenty Inlands without the month and this is commmon knowledge, Thanks

I think it's just a worn die that skipped...
Then why is this 44 in the middle and not of to the right, thanks

I was womdering so i googled Inland Rifles without the month only the year and a bunch of sites showed up about it, Thanks

Probably because the die was started a bit more to the left side on some. The last digit of the date is right under the ''M'' in motors where it should be. My 1-44 Inland has the ''1'' so lightly impressed till you have to hold it just so in good light to see it.Quote:

I would like to see the whole barrel and hear some provenance. From what I can see I don't even think this barrel is an original USGI barrel. Stamping is very ragged with letters misaligned, and it looks like it was done last month - maybe it was. Possibly a left coast knock-off? JMHO, ChipS
