"Inland" Manufacturing M1 Carbines - 1st hand experience

[imarangemaster]

Jim, are you aware of Inland issuing any recall or at least an advisory to inspect on these bolts? Seriously, 8 out of 8 is an alarmingly high percentage. As a former military and LEO armorer, I am disturbed by the progressive deformation of these bolts. With the bolt being subjected to 40,000PSI every shot, it is a disaster waiting to happen. If I were Inland's lawyers, I would be having a cow. While I appreciate Inland's top management not wanting any possibility of negative press at this juncture of early production, they should realize that acting responsibly in the shooter's best interest with eventually pay back with dividends. Hoping none of the owners have or find out, is just NOT responsible. If someone dies from eventual bolt failure, that will be the end of their venture.
