M1 INLAND RARE MID SIGHT

[USGI]

My guess is a 15" barrel if that picture was taken with the handguard and rear sight still in place. Didn't feel like taking one apart to compare the measurement between the gas cylinder and muzzle. - Bob

if that picture was taken with the handguard and rear sight still in place.

GI Bob,
You drinking again ?
You can see in the picture that at least the stock is off.
Would the barrel be longer or shorter with the HG Off ?
I'm trying to figure your angle.

Been a long Winter there hasn't it Ole boy ?

I'm trying to figure your angle.

Only had about a week of winter, so far - in the 50's here today.

Remember that earlier, we had a discussion on how to get the gun apart - because it sounded like the hole in the top of his HG was too small to let it come off without removing the sight first.
Weren't you late getting here again on this one? EDIT: I was wrong again - he was here the 1st day it was posted!

BAR suggested drifting out the pin to remove the sight leaf. You were anxious to see the Rock-Ola parts inside, so I suggested sliding the band forward and lifting the action out with the HG attached.

I thought this recent picture might have been taken with the action out and the HG still held in place by the rear sight. I don't know what order he took his pictures in!

Go measure how far it is from the gas cylinder to the muzzle on one of yours - about 3" more?

Don't be pickin' on us old guys all the time! - Bob
