I purchased this Inland Carbine about two weeks ago off GunBroker (paid $450.00). The receiver has a 6-digit serial number, 2708##, and barrel is an Inland barrel, marked 2-43. The Carbine has been sporterized, and from what I've been able to research on it, I think it may have been done in Germanyicon at some point, and there are no import markings on the Carbine.

All of the metal on the carbine has been blued, the bolt has been polished, as has the magazine release and flip safety (the Type-2 barrel band has even been blued, marked KI). The front sight has had its wings ground off. The trigger group had flaking black paint on it when I received it, and I stripped it off to reveal the plum blued trigger group. Unfortunately, they also had their way with the stock, it was an RMC marked high wood, I-cut stock, but they sanded all the markings from it, recontoured the pistol grip area, trimmed the rear of the stock flat to mount a recoil pad, and filled in the sling recess.

I replaced the stock with a high wood, I-cut stock from Boyds (purchased for a Carbine that I previously owned). I plan to use this as a shooter for CMPicon matches, so I purchased a new "N" marked front sight, and a Type-3 "KI" marked barrel band for it.

I'm not sure who manufactured the trigger guard on this, as it had been polished prior to blueing. I took pictures of the trigger guard, so hopefully somebody can help me out with ID'ing it.























Hard to see, but there is a "J" stamped in the front of the well


And here's how they modified the original stock
