Inland without the Month only Year

[imntxs554]

The Inlander. Vol 1, Issue 1, dtd 1935-36 was six years before the first carbine was manufactured. At that time Inland didn't even know they would be manufacturing M1 Carbines for the war that would start three years.

First of all I was stating that i could not find the 1 and since nobody answered what month i was looking for i did my own research on diffefent sites and they were all coming up with a 1 thats all, then you turned into (this is fact) i got this from The Inlander, first of all i went to that website that lead me to another and another and was seeing they were putting it at 1 for January and of course even i knew Inland wasn't making Carbines at that time or didn't even know they were.

Inland and Winchester were both making carbines in January 1945. Inland made about 88,000 carbines that month and Winchester made about 31,000. Both of them continued right to the end of the war and finally finishing production in September 1945.

Thanks Bruce, but " The Inlander" I started to look at was dated in the late 30's and he was thinking i was getting the information about Inland Rifles from those years. But i was looking at that and then i moved on to other links from there. Thanks for offering more knowledge i really appreciate it,

If you want to get some of the best information available then get a copy of Ruth's War Baby and read it from cover to cover then read it again to get information you may have missed the first time. If you really want to get into carbine collecting then become a member of the carbine club. Then buy all of the past issues of the news letters and again read them all then do it again. The information in War Baby and the news letters is as good as it gets. HTH

That is probably the best advice to a new person who wants to know the history and workings of the M1 Carbine. Joining and getting the back issues is $300 well spent.
The Carbine Club was started by a small group of guys in November of 1976. Next month will be 38 years. That's right, 38 years. As time has passed, newly discovered information changed the original thinking on some subjects. Very interesting to see the evolution in knowledge about this weapon. The back issues may seem costly to some at $280. But you will get 380 issues that cover everything about and associated with the M1 Carbine. Reading the want add section you will be amazed at how the pricing has changed over the years as well.

Good post Bruce.

I own every Inlander magazine from 1938 to 1976 I will have to look and see if any information is discussed about this subject.
