M1 carbine barrel band

[painter777]

I just don't trust the guy, whether real or not. Seeing who's selling it..... I'd pass and watch for Mortardoctor to list one on Ebay.
Then I'd know what was in the picture is what I'd get.

If Inland used 2 Weld bands they must have been the minority used. 3 Weld bands are most common IIRC.
I see this one is a Round Face. I don't recall if it has ever been determined if the Round Face or Straight face was the most common.
These 2 Weld spots are well defined..... But would expect to see Well defined and Weak defined on any bands.
The few Inlands I have with Type I bands are all 3 Weld spots. 2 unmarked bands, 1 with upside down Sans Serif U.
2 Swivels marked Serif U.I. the other swivel unmarked narrow.
Plus 2 loose parts bands- 3 Weld unmarked Type I bands with straight face. 1 a replacement swivel from Northridge. the other Sans Serif UI.

Wait add 1 more. I bought one from Mortardoctor back in 1-14-21. It was without Swivel and screw, a 3 Weld.... But I'd have to dig it out to see if marked. I don't believe it was and Auction pics are gone.

About Trust...... If anyone Trusted this guy that Band would have been long gone.
I'll spend more on a Trustworthy seller.
I don't care to financially support Humpers..... Part timers or Full timers.

Thanks Charlie for pointing out a few things that look suspect. I think I’ll pass on it and wait to see if I can locate one from a trusted source. Unfortunately there aren’t a whole lot of trusted sources, atleast that I know about. I’ll keep a look out for mortardoctor.
