If I remember correctly, most of the RTI's (Ethiopian) went for 2-3 times that amount. - Bob

Even the last one JimF had was missing the magazine, IIRC. Those mags must be pretty darn rare - think he had one made up from wood for his show displays. He said his 2X Carbine was made of wood...

I bought a Ruger 10/22 rifle a few years ago (my first) from a friend that had just put a new barrel on it. He bought it used and said the first time he fired it, it "blew up" the shell case and...

I can't see why any manufacturer would suggest that. I wonder if the NRA article is in error, "The cylinder has a capacity of eight rounds and can also chamber .22 LR cartridges, though it is...

The NRA ran an article the other day on the S&W 648-2 revolver which is chambered in 22 WMR. The article suggests you can also shoot 22 LR with it. How does that work? Wouldn't that bulge or split...

I still have pics of a 5.41M Inland I sold with a Type 3 rear sight and Type 5 slide. The barrel date was 8-44, so possibly shipped in September? I don't know how likely a Type 1 band would have...

We have a show with a "Military Collectibles" theme coming up in Portland later this month. I may take it along. Are these worth around $10 US, or would you up the price a bit? Thanks! - Bob

I agree the Carbine might have a Type 5 slide, and obviously a Type 1 front band. - Bob

I pulled out the helmet cover I mentioned and took some pics. I believe it's "Woodland Camo" since it matches some fatigues my oldest brother gave me - have pictures of those somewhere, too. Now,...

I bought a new helmet cover several years ago on eBay from Ray's Surplus for $8.00 - thought it was like the one my older brothers (both in their 80's now) had in Vietnam. There must not be anything...

Yes, I do remember! - and I still have a note laying here as a reminder I need to PM you with a couple questions on my M1 Rifle. :thup: - Bob

Well at least 99%!!! :thup: - Bob

Still waiting for an answer on the Inland butt plates, though!

Jon, In reply #33 Charlie thought May 6th would be about right for the 408K. I found a "Date Difference" calculator on line here:

Too late at checking email tonight - will try to figure it out tomorrow! Good picture! - didn't realize my foot was in it till just now. :thup: - Bob

I can't tell for sure what that number is, but found pics of the stock on my 476K Inland (undated barrel) and it appears to read "147 3". Still would like to find another one with a definite 5 to...

He probably had to look it up, too! While watching a movie with the wife last night, I did take a peek at WB for the answer. Came up with an abbreviated version of the same thing.

I would add...

Charlie, I think I have an Inland with one of those bands and looked up the maker one time. Can't remember right now but will take some time this evening and see if I can find it. Just realized I...

Jon, your estimate is a little high! Don't know how many you've seen, but my total is probably a half dozen or less. Before I replied earlier today, I was able to visualize your pencil drawings in...

My goal was to get the sling and oiler removed and still have the sling capable of being reinstalled. To do that, I needed to drill out the rivet and replace it with a post (barrel) screw. The...

Charlie, The Inland "SI" (sans serif) front sights were made by R.D. Sedgley, Inc. - I found this in WarBaby pages 335 and 1145. - Bob

Jon - you've almost got me convinced, but I'm thinking the heights of the numbers in that first group of (3) would've all been about the same. For example, a 5 would be about as tall as the 2 or 8...

I thought it could be 126 3 and Jon saw a 5 instead of a 2. Either way, that date would be about right with my 4-43 barrel, I think. I have other pictures to add, but need to head for town right...

My Dad bought a new '51 Custom 2DR when I was about 6 years old. By the time the (3) of us boys were teenagers we had another (4 ) '50 and'51 "shoebox" Fords surrounding the house. Yep, a cousin...
