I took the action out of the stock today and identified some of the parts. The recoil plate is Type 3 marked W.I. and it has the Type 2 screw with long threads. My books say that screw is wrong for an Inland. Funny thing about the screw is the head is off-center and wobbles when you turn it. Another bad thing about the stock is that even though the recoil plate shelf doesn't look compressed, it's loose in the stock and can be slid completely out. I can see where the back of the receiver has made an imprint in the wood inside the stock. With the light just right, I can see remnants of a rack number on the bottom of the pistol grip. The handguard doesn't have an ID mark, but looks a lot like a post war "4 rivet" handguard I have on another carbine. The heads of the rivets have a "brass" color to them on both handguards. The Type 5 slide has the part number on the bottom. The hammer looks like it's marked HI. The sear is Type 2, but don't see a mark on top like some of my other carbines. The trigger pull measures 7 lbs. I got a better picture of the muzzle - minus all the lint. The receiver does have a "two-tone" look to it, but I'm not sure I see a lighter area on the barrel in front of the gas cylinder - maybe it's there. Here's a link to the thread that talked about the "two-tone" receiver and the method used to parkerize the barreled receiver on the late Inlands. https://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=32401 Do you guys think it's like the one in the linked thread? Thanks! - Bob
