Sky-High Inland Repro Carbines

[INLAND44]

I don't get what you mean, but I think you're saying because they mentioned 'clearing malfunctions' that they're saying you can expect malfunctions with the Inland PDW. That's not the meaning at all - any self-loading gun has malfunctions from time to time. This is why every self-loading gun comes with malfunction drill instructions. I don't know what feature they are talking about that might block the ejection port on whatever other model they're discussing but one of the main attributes of the M1 Carbine and some other rifles is the open access and visibility of the bolt. I wouldn't want anything on one that affected that access.

I44,
Taking in to account the reviews about these 'new Inlands' I'd expect problems of all sorts.Their service was horrible, maybe it's improved by now. Many of the early issues have been covered by Jim M's follow up on them.
I know any arm can suffer malfunctions, but I for one could not or would not ever see myself having enough faith in these to bet my or my loved ones safety on.
The money or cost doesn't matter to me......... It's about dependability when needed.
And what if you had 3 or 4 bad guys rush the door? At this time I don't have any Claymores, so I'll stick with the Shockwave, with which the Wife can comfortably handle and the Revolvers conveniently stashed around our home base.

Hopefully your home front or our's will ever need use of any type PDW.

A great weekend to you.
BTW, Not sure where your located in VA buy my Wife and I just visited my Daughter in Alexandria. Spent some time in DC for her graduation from GWU. She got her Masters !
Traffic is insane out there, nice to be home seeing this years corn crops getting started.
I don't even mind getting stopped by our 1 red light in town anymore !


PS: Do you think a AR in .30 Carbine would sell ? Seems a better choice (IMO) than a AR in .45acp.
I'd have to say I'd be a buyer.

Well you could have gone around the side streets Charlie we don't have any stop lights here the train used to run through the center of town but hasn't for the last 20 years we only have about 5 stop signs..........

Painter; Olympic made a .30 carbine AR15 but eventually dropped it because of low sales. its such a natural caliber for an AR because the same 5.56 bolt would be used. Then you need a .308 barrel with a 5.56 barrel extension and a chamber insert for .30 Carbine. The hardest part but not out of the question for a good tinkerer is building an M1 Carbine magazine into an AR mag body. Once you got it basically running, you probably would have to lighten the action spring and buffer.

Yes, the traffic is awful in 'Nawthun Vuhjinyuh' so I try not to go up there unless it can't be avoided. I might ride up, catch the Metro at Springfield and ride over to see a Redskins game every so often when I feel the need to 'wear the hair shirt'. Then there's a huge gun show in Chantilly a few times a year that's worth going to - its even more fun to go to it because it's in the shadow of 'The Beast' (DC), one of the most gun-hatin' holes in the world.

I would try the standard mag, maybe a filler at the front to keep them back and just open the gas port until it runs...I should think...
