I agree on the buttplate - the circle is more "into" the diamonds at the bottom. - Bob

Inland buttplate. Just like the one on my 4.927. That's a very nice carbine and stock. I probably would find a better buttplate. You can remove the rust but it's going to be a mess under it.

Thanks so much.
It looks like this carbine sat in a wet garage or barn as the plate is rusty and the rest is not. It had a thick coat of some preservative on all inside parts. The bolt and TH looked like it had never been apart. The key was the extractor plunger: absolutely perfect with no dents or wear points, sitting perfectly placed on the extractor shelf. Inside edges of the bolt face look very low mile.
I never swap any parts, so the buttplate will remain. It is a fair bet that the gun is in original configuration. Every part is Inland and follows the information in Chris Albright's CC article. The HI stock is very nice but has a couple of goobers from being used. I wish the guy had not sanded it. Cartouche is nice.
Again thanks

These buttplates can vary quite a bit. I've bought more than one as Inland and turned out to be Winchester. These pictures (left to right) show a late Winchester on a carbine claimed to be original, and the next two are on my Inlands, which I think are original to them. Try opening each picture and "dragging" with your mouse up alongside Dave's buttplate picture. The diamonds at the top of the circle on his are pretty rusty, but they look larger like on the Winchester. IBM is similar except it's reversed - the circle is pressed into the upper diamonds more than the lower. Dave: If your carbine was leaning up in a garage or barn, a cat might have "peed" 
on it. Never let a cat "pee" 
on anything you value. That is a really nice Inland! - Bob
