OK, I'll leave it alone. It's not a collector but the installed parts are probably real USGI. No reason to intentionally diminish the value.

Not a collector just a shooter. I have a really nice Inland (ser no. 700498) that I picked up about 10 yrs ago. It's an obvious rebuild with a bayonet lug, adj sights and a Buffalo Arms barrel dtd...
I have a 6 digit Inland that sounds similar to yours. I took it to my local gunny and he TIG welded the cracks filling in the missing material with weld. I ground the exterior back down to near the...
Thanks, I'm relieved and I promise never to speak of this again.
FWIW it's definitely a 6 digit serial # beginning with a 7. There is absolutely no evidence of a 7th digit. I think I'm sorry I asked the question to begin with; I just assumed there was some other...

I picked up an Inland carbine (ser#700498) at a gun shop several yrs ago. It's a typical WWII rebuild with adj sights, bayonet lug, and a Buffalo Arms barrel dated 43. On the forward end of the...
Thanks to all who responded. I'll keep my eyes open for the real McCoy. I still think I could make one if I had the specs or a real one to compare to.
You're right, it's 9-43. My eyes are older than the carbine; that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. I see push safeties over at Numrich for about $20, is that the usual going rate? Looks like...
I have an Inland (#700XXX) that I picked up several yrs ago as a plinker. Apparently it's an arsenal rebuild (barrel stamped Buffalo Arms 9 1948) and has adj rear sight, flip safety and bayonet lug....
I'm just a newbie here and certainly no carbine expert but I'll offer my experience with my Inland receiver. It had several small cracks around the forward end of the hole drilled for the recoil...
