This was in the same collection for 20-30 years (it's now mine). I took the photos before I cleaned anything, so you could see how I found it - dry and dirty. Look OK?

That's what I'm talking about.
Give me that carbine and $500.00 and I can turn it into a fine shooter.
It is a very nice carbine and original, as manufactured. Is it something that you are interested in selling?
Don't listen to......ahem......Bubba.

Another slideshow after cleaning! :super:

Can you fill out a data sheet and post it or email it to me? I do research on Inlands. For instance, your carbine has a barrel band retaining spring with a flat tip. Typically, Inland used a spring with a rounded tip. I have seen several flat tipped bands in this serial number range indicating that Inland used this type.

WOW......
What a treat.....
I'm going outside for a smoke....
Thank You

Chris,
How about the recoil spring guide without the point?
First of all, I'm not convinced that there isn't a point. It's hard to tell in the photo. Second, there are reports of the flat tipped guides on Inland carbines in the first serial number block.
Is it proven that the pointed tipped guide preceded the flat tipped guide? Or could the pointed versus the flat tipped guide be just a matter of being from different subcontractors? According to War Baby!, Inland had two different subcontractors of operating slide spring guides. Could one subcontractor have made the flat tipped guide and the other made the pointed?
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!
