"Inland" Manufacturing M1 Carbines - 1st hand experience

[Captain O]

I don't understand the logic behind buying a repo carbine when there are so many GI carbines available. Even a shooter grade GI seems to be more reliable than the new Inland's and the AO's. They run about $1K the same as the problematic remakes. Nicer, maybe a more collectible maker, can be $1,200 and up. I just don't get it.

Those that buy the Fulton and James River Armory models aren't thrilled with idea of buying a rifle that may have been abused, or "clapped out" over a course of, at the most, 71 years. The "holy grail" that is the USGI M1 Carbine is slowly being driven into the "wall hanger" or "collectible" status. Many shooters are loathe to shoot a "Collectible".

As of late, the market as become subject to hyperinflation.
