"Inland" Manufacturing M1 Carbines - 1st hand experience

[imntxs554]

Secondly the barrel band does not fit correctly. the hoop that is bent over the sling swivel sticks to far back and prevents the barrel band from sitting flush with the stock and handguard while simoltaneously not allowing the retaining clip to snap into place (it came from the factory like this!). It would also seem that the barrel band is not into spec as far as wraping around the stock. there is a gap on the left side (looking from the muzzle) between the band and the stock. this in turn makes it difficult to get the screw to engage and also forces the band to warp when tightening. ive not had a real USGI M1 carbine but isnt the barrel band supposed to be able to clamp all the way together making both ends meet using the screw?this one does not...

Welcome to the Forum....I always thought that myself, (but I'm no expert) until I saw the Picture posted on Who made this T2 band? a "44 Carbine not worn enough or Not Overly Tighten to have the BB flush together. I never seen more like that until now with the pictures posted here. I guess I never noticed or never really looked. I would of thought '44 USGI Carbine the BB would be flush. On my 3 GI ones they came Flushed Together. I'm sorry you had to sell your Auto Ordnance that didn't have ALL these problems this Company is having. Can you get it Back ?
