IP only got up to a 1000 stocks from Rock-Ola and that was early on. They also got 200 stocks from Inland that were early too. The vast majority of IP stocks were from Robert Irwin Co.

IP only made a handful of their own parts.
IP integrated approximately 200 stocks from Inland, Oct /Nov 1942. And 1,000 from Rock Ola in late Dec 1942/Jan 1943.
RMC stocks from Rock Ola, and LA marked stocks from Inland, as well as Robert Irwin Co. IR-IP, IP-IR.

If you have it, see War Baby page 414 to 424. Particularly page 419 the second stock entry.

IP made almost all of their own parts. The front sight, barrel and barrel band and butt plate were from other venders. All the rest of the carbine parts was made in house. This was one of the major problems with IP. They would stop all production of a specific part if a new revision came along and that would hold up all of the carbine production.

I don't have my books open right now to check on other parts, but I have an S'G' carbine that has an IP marked rear sight and mag catch that came from "other vendors." - Bob

Bruce, did they make their own parts in house, or have them subcontracted out and marked IP-A, IP-W, IP-B, IP-SW, B-IP, RP, ?

Jim, To be honest with you I was thinking of bigger parts and not the smaller ones so your right about that. I was just thinking of slides, bolts, hammers and receivers.

I agree. They made the receiver, bolt, trigger housing, slide, hammer, firing pin and trigger. Pretty much the rest was contracted or integrated.
