Type V slide question

[Rustship]

Early L-379's were used at the start Oct 43, but during transition Inland used both E and L 379 slides. It is clearly stated in the Carbine Clubs newsletter's 149 and 150. It would be interesting to know if part number 7160091 is stamped on the bottom of your slides!

Well my 11-43 Inland, serial number 3002830, is 100% correct besides slide. Considering the info in the CC newsletter, and the others with un-messed with Inlands in the 10-43 to 1-44 date range, I don't think the assumption that the type Vs are original to this block is unreasonable. Inland using-up the on hand prior versions after implementation of the new slides would explain Type IV slides also being found in this period.

Yes, mine is. Does this make it a later replacement part?
