My original 550K M1A1, has an 8-43 Inland barrel, I am getting a beauty of an Inland 700K range, M1 with SG sub receiver, [all early features, but not I cut], the barrel date is 4-43???
Will take pics next week, but I was wondering if any body else has seen these discrepencies? Both look original...Thankyou, Andy
What discrepencies? Barrel dates look okay.
Brian, the 500K barrel date is 4 months later than the 700K barrel date, Im thinking the SG contract may have been involved, but youd think the 500K would be earlier than the 700K?

Sorry to blunt. But it is what it is.
I am a member, but the latest articles about Inland were later manufactured rifles, not early, unless I missed it, could you fill me in? I just rejoined last month...Sorry..Andy
You missed it! A very informative article on Inlands 1st serial number block by Chris Albright. If he was on this board he would be very dissappointed in any Carbine Club member that didn`t read his article. Cudos to Mr. Albright !!

No need to be 'sorry' Andrew. The CSP is here for you to ask questions.
If someone doesn't feel like answering a question it is their prerogative, but nobody should be chastised in public for asking a legitimate question.

The Saginaw Steering Gear subcontract receivers were numbered beginning with 700000 through 850000 in the first block and were made around the same time as the Inland-made receivers in the 260000 through 999999 range. So there were two serial number ranges being assembled concurently -- that's why a 700k SG-marked receiver can have an earlier barrel date than a 550k Inland-made receiver. :)Quote:

Thankyou for the information..Is an original SG contract Inland scarcer than a correct original 200K range I cut Inland?
With the SG contract, it must be one of the 1st subbed out receivers?
