    Inland 5.4 with 8-44 barrel

    I wonder when Inland started in on this block? The carbine in question has a round bolt, milled PI sight, type V trigger housing but correct type 2 band. Any help appreciated.
    Thanks

    The source I looked at said the block in question (4,879,526--5,549,820) ran from January 1944 to August 1944.

    If that is correct then the Type 2 sight , round bolt etc would be original

    as well as the type V trigger housing.

    I have Inland # 5463040 with 8-44 dated Inland barrel, round bolt, four rivet hand guard, PI marked milled adjustable rear sight and type 2 band marked PI in a triangle. The rest of the parts are correct for the era and it's in excellent condition. The carbine appears to be original.

    According to CCNL 361, it says trigger housing type 5 (type 3 with oil hole), earliest reported was at serial 5317434. So I would say then that 5.4 would be good chance of original type 5.

    I have an excellent original Inland 5464XXX with 8-44 Inland barrel, two rivet hand guard, PI milled rear sight, push safety, and Type II barrel band with upside down triangle. It was bought off a table of hunting guns years ago, and doesn't appear to have been touched.

    The carbine I'm talking about was bought by my brother recently

    It is just about like yours Johnnie. A nice mix of the early parts and new. I believe a 4 rivet handguard, round bolt, type two band, push safety, PI type two sight, type 4 PI slide. I haven't seen it but would love to buy it from him as it appears to be original. Some family brought it into his shop after grandpa died and sold it for $500. May happen as my brother isn't really into carbines. I tried to walk him through it and he had some friend who supposedly is a carbine guy tell him it was the best he had ever seen. Problem is, I've already told him what it could be worth. Can't lowball family.
