"Inland" Manufacturing M1 Carbines - 1st hand experience

[Inland]

Please allow me to introduce myself, I am the Owner / President of Inland Manufacturing who is producing the M1 Carbine being discussed on this thread. There are many in-accurate and speculative comments that have been made on the internet and more specifically within this forum, I will be very happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability. I appreciate the information gained from such a technical and enthusiastic audience as Milsurps, this information will assist us in the future to produce the very best product possible.

Inland Mfg. is a private entity and Veteran / US Citizen owned and operated and we have no affiliation with any other firearms company as speculated on a previous post. MKS Supply, also located in Dayton, is the master distributor for the entire Inland line and is also the distributor of other firearms and firearm related products. Inland did not purchase Auto-Ordinance, however many of the components used are sourced from the same suppliers used by Auto-Ordinance and manufactured to our specifications. 100% of all components for the Inland M1 Carbine and 1911 are new production and sourced from the United States, this is a practice that we strive to continue. With any new venture, there will always be bumps in the road, we have had our share and learn from them, we take great pride in the product that we build and the great customer relations that we have already developed. I am very pleased to say that warranty issues are dealt with aggressively and expediently, with the average turnaround in 3-5 days. This is possible in part due to the fact that we have had less than 1% which is substantially lower than what is usually found in the firearms industry.

For the readers of this forum, if you have any Inland products that develop a problem, please contact us immediately and give us the opportunity to correct the issue, this will assist us in identifying a potential "Manufacturing" issue that we are unaware of.

Thank you for this opportunity to share our information and to learn from your firearms experiences!

Hi Ron,
Thanks for giving us the opportunity to talk to you in person. Glad to hear that you and Auto Ordnance are not the same. But you must agree at the thousand dollar price tag, the average Joe would be very cautious of putting money down on something that is made from the same parts as another rifle that has a suspect track record. What can you tell us about Inland that makes you a better choice than the others? Can you give us any info as to the heat treating of the cast components and how you test your vendor supplied product for this.
Thanks.
Wastelander.
