I found a treasure! It's in "Jail" for a 10 day wait.

Can't wait to see pics.

I GOT IT!!!!!!!! I could wet myself like a happy puppy. I should have pictures later today or tomorrow when I can break it down.

YAY!

Isn't it good to get excited about something. I feel like the older I get, the less I get excited about. I'm so jaded.

WOW! Original unmarked Type IA band on the 11-43 dated Inland barrel. THE ONLY WEAR ON THE BARREL is from the type I band! No Type II or Type III band shadow on barrel, or the stock (IO Highwood oval with Crossed Cannons) with Inland buttplate and matching IO handguard for stock. The hammer is a Type III in the white with a NI on it. The flat bolt is marked I and something else. The type V PI marked slide is the only thing that does not match for its date and serial number.

Oh, did I mention that an M2 30-06 shows a full 1/4" at the muzzle, and the bore is like new. Maybe some pictures tomorrow. The finish is 95%+

EDIT: No stake marks on the sight bridge, The Type I rear sight seems to be original to the receiver.

Yeah, enough with the words!!!! I'm going to start thinking you don't really have it!!!

Just teasing. I know it takes time to take good pics.

Great find!!

Mike, did you ever check out the un-messed with Underwood that (Rod had there before he sold) I told you about? IIRC, it was almost as nice as this Inland.
