I should have clarified that this was range day number two, as it was about a week ago in September. I did more clay pigeons than the first time, and used some of my 14.7 grains of WW296 with...

Range update: Took it to the range to see how the Carbine shoots. (ME on it was "0", so I doubt if this late 1944/early 1945 original had many rounds through it.
...

LOL. It’s not like it was MOA so I didn’t bother to take pictures!!!! That’s just an example for those who don’t know what the target I was referring to is!

Range day! Took the Inland to the range today. Started at 25 yards with the standard M1 Carbine 25 yard acceptance target. with rear sight centered (index marks aligned) and on the 100/150...

It doesn’t appear to be rebuilt as it has the starburst peening on the pommel. I’m out of town but I will check for numbers on the sheath when I get home.

I think it is an original M8 without hanger. No signs of there ever being a hanger in the loop or any evidence of stitching at any time. I think I need to first try WD-40, and if that doesn't work,...

Quick cell pics of the bayonet. Hs what appears to be original M8 Sheath, though I think it was a later one with hanger, but hanger was removed. Needs cleaned, but basically in good condition. ...

Had a chance to run out to some BLM land and pop a few rounds from the Inland. Ammo was 110 Grain 14.7 of WW296 reloads. Magazine was a USGI 15 rounder. I was shooting at dirt clods and misc stuff...

Hmmmm... this morning it says delivered. Hopefully the clerk won't send it back out (the way my luck with this package is going!). Considering what a beauty of a carbine I got for $800, I can't...

Seriously? My bayonet went out for delivery in Grass Valley (northern CA) yesterday, but today ended up hundreds of miles south in Bakesfield (Southern CA)!!!!!!! WTF is wrong with the postal...

Butt Plate: Inland? SA?

I agree. Part of the problem was he had short timer disease. He was fleeing Commiefornia, moving to New Mexico, and lost focus and interest.

Got it! Sweet! The NOS buttplate and screw were in a bag with the paperwork. The mystery of the screw for recoil plate (and why buttplate was off) is solved. When it came in on consignment last...

Yippee. Pick it up tomorrow at 930! Tonight I will be like Ralphie in "A Christmas Story" waiting for his Red Ryder BB Gun!:dancingbanana::dancingbanana::dancingbanana::dancingbanana::dancingbanana:...

Just got new tracking number for the M4 being shipped from other buyer.

I have been house sitting a friend's ranch in Central California for a month now, just going home to GV a couple days a week to take care of business. The friends are stuck in Europe because of...

LOL! I just heard from seller. Seems the person who got the bayonet wants the plastic sculpture instead! Seller sending pre-paid label to each of us to ship to other.

I have actually been to Horse head Bay!

Sad things paypal will not let me file a claim under buyer protection because it was ebay. ebay gives the seller 30 days to respond and refund before they...

Now there is an idea👍😁

Holy cow. I got the package that was supposed to be the bayonet and it was a cr@ppy piece of plastic sculpture of a ocean wave with a horse head!!!!!! Either the eBay seller mixed packages or it was...

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:LOL! You guys are terrible!

Went through and totaled up my Carbine ammo. 350 rounds R-P 110 JSP, 250 round R-P 110 FMJ, 400 rounds reloads 110 grain- Ranier plated over 14.7 grains of W-W 296, a 50 round box of WW2 Kings Mill,...

Heck of it is, my FFL called me and saidCOVID has bogged things down so much FFL told me that it is taking 18-21 days to get the ten day clearance.

Digging through my carbine stuff I kept: Besides a big stack of 15 and 30 round mags and about 900 rounds of assorted ammo I found MRT marked D tip USGI sling, IS Oiler, a repop carbine canvas case,...
