Not stolen, they were "liberated."

Nice :thup:
Is the Extractor Plunger Cone shaped or does it have the notch?
Is the Plunger's Stem the long style?
I have a couple early WRA's that have the long stem Plunger that had the cone shaped tip, then the notch was added.

In the post below, David Barnett added:
"Per NL #336, in reference to the earlier conical plunger "The shanks are longer than the later type 2 extractor plungers. Some data sheets reported a transitional type with long shank and half cone tip." A photo is shown of the "transitional" half cone tip with the long shank. It appears identical to yours."

Safe Weekend,

Heres some pics of this amazing very early Inland in the Stock as requested :-)
Wow...its perfect....you could sell it and almost fill your gas tank in California. Seriously, that is an incredible find and kudos to the person who had it before you for preserving it so well. A true beauty!
Thank You Hammer,
A very nice example.
Having the Grand Slam of Slingwell markings.
Surely warms up a Damp Chilly evening.
I enjoyed the 7 Rifle (Lucky number) rack your Father built.
Question? Is the Leaf on the Flip sight marked?

The Leaf Sight base is marked but not the leaf sight itself.

Or is that a really small Y in a box on the right side of the 300 yard flip site?
Hammer, That is an outstanding early Inland carbine and I know this because I am a pervious owner of it. I bought it 6 years ago on GunBroker and sold it 2 years later. If you can get a copy of the Carbine Club Newsletter #346 there is an extensive article on "Inland's First Serial Number Block" you will find your carbine is completely correct and I have no doubt all the parts are all original to each other.
I thought more of it being a stay back than a bring back. It is in fantastic condition but not the characteristics of one that saw action, it's pretty but no battle scars. I took great pleasure owning it, hope you do too.
To Charlies question regarding the Extractor Plunger, it is a Type 1 conical/cone w/long stem. The Extractor is a Type 1 as well.
