I just came into possession of a IBM carbine tell me about it

367xxxx

What parts should be on it, flat/round bolt, type slide etc.

Eager to learn about this one, never owned an IBM.

Late here..... But for now,
Here's a link to a later one than yours but interesting reading and pictures.

IBM used round bolts first (late 43), but yours is early enough that it should have gotten a flat one. As I always say though you never know.

thanks

IBM Barrel?
Is your barrel dated ?
8-43 or 9-43 ?

It is dated 1-44

Go here. The U.S. Caliber .30 Carbines
The really important part is that IBM only made 19 of the 60 something parts, including the receiver(and Auto Ordnance made some of those). So there's no such thing as an "all original" or "all correct" IBM made Carbine. Carbine parts were made by everybody and his brother in small shops all over the Eastern US.
IBM didn't date all their barrels either.

Sunray,
Wouldn't you consider Original as how something was/is presented as a finished, completed, accepted product?

In trying to understand your statement above,
I think the key may be your use of the word 'All',
Has to be because there are Originals and there is Correct.
Original as accepted with the same configuration (correct) of parts in or on it as when it was accepted.

Your statement comes off like you saying the new Ford truck in the driveway isn't a 'Original' Ford because not all the parts were made by Ford ?

If so then the Mona Lisa couldn't be an Original piece of art painted by Leonardo da Vinci, if you take in to account that he didn't make the canvas or oils to paint it.

You grind in your 'No such thing as all original' every time someone brings up the mention of Original. Then refer them to the Collectors forum which includes many of us who have studied the carbines since the 70's. Come on..... give it a rest.

Everyone knows it took the sub contractors supplying the prime makers parts to produce these War time carbines.

For a 3.67 serial number the barrel should be in the 9-43 + range. If the barrel is dated 1-44 then it is not an IBM barrel as IBM stopped dating their barrels after 12-43.
Does your carbine have an adjustable rear sight on it?

Thank you for the response.

This is what I am trying to learn about my new piece.
It has an Inland barrel dated 1-44.

Not knowing anything about IBM, my query was about learning what is supposed to be on this rifle.
It does have an adj. site, and very, very firmly attached

Someone responded and said that only about 16 parts were made by IBM, the rest supplied by others? All one supplier, or numerous vendors.
