Late War Inland, Underwood rebuild

[imarangemaster]

Range day! Took the Inland to the range today. Started at 25 yards with the standard M1 Carbine 25 yard acceptance target. with rear sight centered (index marks aligned) and on the 100/150 setting, I easily dumped 15 rounds (from a rest) into the black on the target. (all above the dotted line that shows perfect 100/150 battle sight) With careful aiming, I was able to do 1" to 1.5" three shot groups at 25 yards fairly easily. I did not have to adjust a thing. Ammo was both R-P 110 FMJ, 110 JSP, and FMJ reloads with 15 grains of WW296. All printed to the same POI. I also hit some clay pigeons on the berm at 100 yards, which was nice.



After I had a last round FTF on the first magazine, I found one of my USGI 15 round mags actually had the mag spring in backwards! Must be one I got last year during Freedom Week. About two years ago I replaced all my 15 round mag springs with NOS USGI springs I got from Numrich in cosmolened packs of ten. In over 100 rounds after that I had zero malfunctions...

All in all, I was very pleased. I think I may use this for my Home defensive Carbine loaded with Hornady Critical Defense ammo. Since I moved back into my neighborhood house (all houses on 1/2 to 5 acres), I think it will have less possible over penetration than my Mini-14 shooting 5.56 M193 55 grainers.
