My Inland #882766 M1 Carbine

[Devious6]

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.

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.

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.

I use REM OIL, and a good gun cloth, just clean it, keep it oiled...I think issue 345, or 346 is correct, Im waiting for it from Roger now...

Looks like I need CCNL # 339, 346 & 353 to help with my Inland/SG carbine. Correct?

Very nice looking carbine jmark!

With all of the 'put-together', refinished, etc carbines I've been seeing for sale lately, it's very nice to see one that looks honest and real.

Looking forward to seeing how this comes out, but I'd already think long and hard before contemplating replacing anything.
I hope you do join the CC and fill out a detailed data sheet on this one.

Thanks! I am going to join the CC and request the back issues for my rifle. I am not planning on replacing anything right now. I have a nice 3.8 SA M1 Garand too. I am jmark on the CMP forums as well. I'll need help filling out a data sheet.

You may want to *gently* remove the active corrosion. I have had very good luck with this product and KROIL.

Big 45 Frontier Metal Cleaner

I have used this on some finely blued Colts with surface rust with great results.

Thanks for all the useful info. Looking forward to the CCNL's that deal with my carbine. Seems it might be completely original afterall.
