The first type 5' were used at inland by Oct. '43. I also have 979k with that slide and there are others reported in the CCNL's . The first of these slides have the later style cams but do not have...

I would say your slide is correct. Inland was using the later cam slides by that time.
Very nice. I have one very near yours and just about like Condition

Not real sure, I have never had a known replacement spare.

The inlands are parked because they were in the gun when it was parked. You can usually tell which way the flip was positioned by the shadow left on it from being covered up during parking. It has a...

Good for you can't be much worse than here in old Illinois!
I've got some good friends that have a house in Truckee and get out there every couple years to ski. Some of the most beautiful country...

I think it is FED. ORD. INC. SO. EL MONTE CA.

My cats work for me, but I work for my dogs on our farm!
Seriously, the special on the War Dogs of the Pacific is pretty sad if you are a dog lover. I would have a hard time volunteering my dog for...

Looks like the one the repo kings had made a few years ago. That type of wrapping is typical of repo parts. Sounds like a nice made up story to go with it!

Looks like a bubba job with numerich stamps on the stock.

They are M14 forgings. If you look you can see the only have the mid receiver leg not the front and rear legs of a M1.

Yep two weeks and it will all original

The 4 rivets are not factory to my knowledge. I was under the impression that only Inland and Winchester had them on original guns.
I know that there were spare parts contract 4 rivet hanguards. I...

I'm not sure on the part number but the first straight hammers were in late June or July. That is when Inland, Saginaw and IBM started using them. The other makers started soon after that. Charlie,...

The truth is in the details. If someone like a gunshow dealer looks it over and sees one non matching part he will tell you its all wrong. If it is a restoration most experts can tell by the details....

I haven't seen a WU hammer intigrated to inland either, but the two P's on the barrel are a common trait on inland barrels during mid war production. I wouldn't change a thing.

The marking you are seeing is the Inland logo standing on it's side. It is the outline of one of the original buildings in the plant that was previously used by the Wright brothers. On the inside of...

The front sight is inland and the gun was most likely made in 12-43 or 1-44. The N marked front sights were made by niedner. The ones for NPM made by them were marked NN

I believe the law was changed on the bolt carrier on AR's I have a colt that is a couple years old and it has the M16 carrier in it. I called colt and they said it has been changed by the...

Here is my Saginaw. It is the same story, a likely original gun with only the rear sight changed. It also has a odd heel marking in that Inland and a serial number were ground off and restamped...

Many times the feed ramps were polished at the factory.

Why? A M1A can't except the parts. Multiple company's sell the full auto parts so you can mount on the stock and look the part. They are all ATF legal.

I would figure the pics was in the early mid 60's due to the C-130 being unpainted and asigned to TAC. As we go more involved in Vietnam Tac assigned C-130's were painted camoflage.
Interesting info...

Charlie,

Does it match the rear of the stud on a sling?

I have a RI/3 marked grip with the small crossed cannons on the bottom on my M1A1.
Came from the CMP that way. NO proof P on the stock. The early second run M1A1's were like that.
The first second...

I'll be like TR and tell you you have to send it to me. Heck I'll even stop by on my way to Saginaw.
Very nice Charlie.
