    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.

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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.

    Finish on receiver is not correct. Should be black oxide like barrel. Inland applied finish to barrel and receiver as a unit.
