And so far all I've seen or heard about it.
Stamped: Inland Dav 159,554
Could this be a China Copy ?

China copied the M1 carbine and manufactured them at the Mukden Arsenal in Manchuria in 1949 and 1950. The wood stocks were very rough and the metal parts were a mix of Chinese receivers with some U.S. parts but they all had the factory logo stamped on the receiver ring as far as I know.
Saw the URL at the lower left in your attached picture - Checked it out and do like that site.

I didn't notice that Bob.
I'm looking for the Blue background.
OK,
I got confused by Sappers post and went looking thru the GI link for a Blue background.
Where I found this:
Found in a Jap Tank on Okinawa: INLAND WW2 PARATROOPER WITH HISTORY ! for sale
So not the one I posted about, but it is interesting.
I got a PM that said this one is currently on GB right now.Quote:

This thread has many Twists........
OK, Found the Inland DAV stamped one.
Front Receiver Ring looks normal.
Just the Rear Stamping and the Barrel Markings jumping out ?

Doesn't look like a China knock off like the others were.
I wonder if that's a careless restrike of a badly rusted and cleaned and refinished carbine? Look at the deep pits on the sides of the receiver.Quote:
