Early Inland - Opinions Please!

This one seemed worth another look.
Enjoy,

Thanks for the eye candy, A real honest carbine .... Bill

That is one of the most original ones I have seen - thanks for showing it! I don't think I would be shooting it.

Here is one of mine almost identical to the one pictured above.

Man. That one is great too. And they are practically twins.

There are no originals....right? Boy, there are a lot of great parts to sell on that one, pity it isn't a Rock-Ola........

How long did Inland continue with the circle P proof on the buttstock? My I cut has one but I thought that they were dropped at some point. This carbine displays the method of staking that was REALLY used on the flip sight. My NPM has stake marks that are almost faint by comparison. These were obviously put there to stay. What a great find. I hope my incoming 5.4 is close.

Charlie/Frank; the white coloring on this carbine finish (before cleanup) is what? just a blush of the linseed oil from age? I assume a good rubdown with the palm and some BLO would take this up?
Wow, what a nice piece!
