M4 bayonet's on A1's

Okay, is it an Inland barrel? What's the barrel date? If the barrel goes with the receiver, the bayo lug would have been installed by the military during an upgrade/overhaul. If the finish is original (blued) it might be worth putting on the correct band. If it has been parkerized, you may as well leave it as is.

I-44, are you saying a 600K Inland would have originally had a blued barrel rather than parkerized? - Bob

On the barrel is: Inland mfg. div. General motors 9-43. it does look like the barrel is parkerized so I'll just leave it alone. Thanks.

Boos,
Checkout this old link to a 300,957 Inland I came across. It will show you the two tone finish. Some of the pictures were before cleaning. After inspection I added pictures of it after cleaning. There is a long slide show that I believe still works and links to the original owner.
It's a very nice example of a nearly pristine carbine.

Neither Photobucket links work for me. I do see the inline pictures (which make me want to see them all!)

I can't get the links to play either Charlie, that's why I like to put the pics here for posterity.

Must have to do with our operating systems...different.

This is a rerun from some years back, But Dang it, it allows me to see the slideshow, but must have me signed in.
That Slide Show is 180 pics.

I'm at my limit there on PB, actually over but am leery of paying for upgraded service just for them to come back later and hold me hostage again $$. So currently I can't use them to host on forums.

Last try is a copy/paste from the PB file: Inland 300957 Slideshow by Painter8439 | Photobucket

If this doesn't work, I'll have to figure out something tomorrow......... What a great day for our central air to quit !!

The slideshow worked fine for me, I seen all 180 pictures

Took a couple tries before my computer would run the slide show, but finally worked - that's a valuable reference for anyone owning an early Inland. - Bob
