Is there any real collector value to a M1911 (1918 Colt) with no finish left on it? I have one that someone has taken steel wool/sandpaper to what I can only assume was surface rust and removed the...
This is a LE6920. Blue box label?
All guns break, it is just a matter of when.
I have a oppurtunitity to purchase a NIB (New Manufacture) Colt AR for $1200. Is this a good deal? Have an Olympic that I have had for several years and of course it did not cost near that much. ...
Have CMP 52D in the same stock I got on a CMP auction several years ago.
Brian,
Mine looks more like the first picture. Sort of crude, so wasn't to sure about it.
This just means my newest carbine in all Inland. That makes me happy.
Thanks,
AJ
Yes, sort of like that one. Is that an X.I.? Have never seen a sear marked on the side before that I remember of.
Sorry, forgot to say the X is on the side, not the top. Rather crude looking X, when compared to the usual X.I.
I have what appears to be a completely correct Inland (S/N:6.3M). The sear is a Type II and is marked with an X on the side. Best guesses as to why? Experimental? I know that some parts were...
A friend of mine sent me the following:
"I have aquired a sealed can of 30 carbine ammo. It has the following markings;

Shot a couple of more pictures.

The markings are at the left rear of the barrel/chamber area, just above the wood.

A friend runs the local gun shop. He took in a old target pistol in trade. It appears to be a copy of a Remington Rolling Block. It has double set triggers, the barrel is 9 3/4 inches long, has...
Any one care to hazard a guess as to what the values are for these or what the prices will be? I know where one is that I can pick up for about $500. I described it a week ago. ...
Does a Gun showing up on the SRS list have any added value placed on it? Or is it just the satisfaction of knowing where it was at acertian point in it's existance?
According to Riesch's book, Type III barrel bands were not used until serial number 6,300,000. Ruth's book states late '44 and in the 6 Mil range for usage.
No BI stamped on the barrel flat. I did wind up getting the carbine. Got it for $400 and swapped the stock and $100 for a properly cartouched Inland stock with a Inland 4 rivit handguard. Figure I...
My copy of Riesch's book alludes to the fact that some barrels weren't dated. This one has a Type III barrel band marked JI and a Type III rear sight I.R.Co. both of which would be correct for the...
The Inland barrel has no date on it. Have never seen one without a date.
Found a 6,316,8XX Inland carbine that is all correct except.......It is in the wrong stock. All the parts are correct for the rifle according to Riesch's 5th Edition. The stock has no marking in...
A friend picked up a carbine yesterday and it is oddly marked form what I am use to seeing. It has the last four numbers of the serial number (3672) stamped on the operating slide, handguard, stock...
Not sure what he is ging to ask for the pair. I am not sure I want them. I like the carbine, but outside hanging it on the wall I don't know what I would do with it.
Come on guys, we're up to 208 (at this time)views and no one has any ideas or opinions? Yeas, nays or piece of cr@p, whatever? Posted more pictures as requested. Looking for a ball park idea of...
