There are E379 slides with the increased dwell. Not sure of the types. On the other hand, not all L379 slides have the increased dwell.

Too early for the Button rifling. That would have been in the 6 mil range. Barrels with the button rifling would not be marked near the muzzle with a date or name but would have I-BR on the top of...
I'd be willing to bet that the number 203 is stamped in the receiver under the rear flip sight.
Just my opinion but not all white bags have the same value. There were a few different versions of the white bag release by CMP in 2003 (see CCNL316). I think the most collectable version was stamped...
Brian Quick wrote an article about round bolts in NL 370 which explained the X on top of IBM bolts.
If you can find an original IP, and that is a big "if", it's going to cost you big money. I know of one that sold recently at auction (with buyers premium) for about $4800. If I were pricing it, I...
Only if you're interested in the minutiae of carbines. If it was an original, as manufactured, maybe.
Can you post a good picture of the serial number? I believe it is the highest serial number reported within the serial number block. The next highest is 999760.
It is from a "box".

That would be apples and oranges. Carbine Club members who read CCNL 355, page 10 on WINCHESTER M2s would know better.
To make matters worse, Inland didn't do any overstamping of numbers on the...
yes

Just noticed this post. IMO, the carbine is a restoration and not original, as manufactured. The rear sight should have a finish that matches the receiver. It doesn't. The trigger should be blued. It...
I'm aware. Just letting him know of it's value and hoping he got at least that for it.
Nice looking M1A1 carbine in original condition, 5 digit with black oxide finish. IMO, I would put a value of at least $5000 on it.
Kinda..... I've seen one example of a 5 digit Inland in which it appeared there had been no grit blasting of the receiver. Other than that, the finish appears to be grit blasted on most/all of the...
Think what you will. I'll tell you one thing though. I've never seen an original, as manufactured Inland carbine that has a black oxide finish on the barrel and receiver with a phosphate finish.
I believe it is the first letter in last name and last four digits of soldier's serial number. Often seen on ww2 era U.S. military personal issued gear.
I can only advise you of what the physical and documentary evidence indicates.

Finish on receiver is not correct. Should be black oxide like barrel. Inland applied finish to barrel and receiver as a unit.
My father was on a similar ship in the Pacific Theater, the AGC3 USS Rocky Mount from October 1943 thru April 1945. He was involved in some of the major assaults (Marshalls, Marianas and Phillipines)...
Was there any documentation with XG15?
The thought on the presentation M2s is that they were originally made as M1s even though they are marked M2. That would not be the case for production...
I took another look at the OP's post. He should post a picture of the marking on the receiver. I've never seen an instance where the "IBM CORP" is stamped in front of the rear sight. It may be a...
IBM, or Auto Ordnance for that matter, never stamped the serial number in front of the rear sight. That was done during an arsenal rebuild. The reason it was done is because when the flip sight was...
Inland and late Winchester butt plates are very similar.
