Hello all,
I have recently aquired an Inland M1A1 Carbine Paratrooper. Until a few days ago I wasn't familiar with them at all. But I have spent the past few days reading, researching, and enjoying the history of these guns.
I believe the carbine I have aquired to be an original Inland Carbine. The barrel reads Inland MFG. DIV. General Motors 6-44. The reciever also reads Inland MFG. DIV. Serial number
530xxx2. The butt plate reads xx57614. It's kinda hard to read the first couple of digits. The upper handguards only have two rivets and I have read that makes it a WWII gun. IIRC.
I have taken several photos and attached them in a link for your viewing pleasure. I believe i have come to the right place to hopefully learn a little more about my new found treasure! Any info you can share with me is greatly appreciated.
