My Inland #882766 M1 Carbine

[firstflabn]

CCNL#339 has an SG subcontracted Inland receiver that's 20k earlier than yours and it has the L-379 slide. Carbine is a documented bringback.

A 1985 newsletter has another SG subcontracted receiver a few thousand later than the one above that has the early slide - and it has a later barrel date! (10-43). Looks like a case can be made that yours is in the transistion.

What is your barrel date and is the SG large or small?

The barrell says 43 for sure. The month is tough to read with the pitting. I can't remember if the SG is large or small. I've only had it apart once.

That is a very sweet looking carbine! If I knew it was here, I'd have never left it get out of PA!!

I used to be in Greer every Labor Day weekend for the annual Roadster Homecoming at the BMW factory. I bet it's quiet now without 700+ roadsters clogging the roads.

LOL. The previous owner is a Garand guy. Only had two carbines this being one of them. He bought it from a guy in PA who he knew had good quality pieces. Sounds like I didn't do bad for $950.
