Looks like Stainless steel, how difficult would that be? And would it be worth it.
Most fakes are bronze, which are easy to cast, stainless has to be cut or stamped, like a coin. I don't know a whole lot about the Carbine CC's but I know it would take more time to engrave the dies and set up machine. For just one...
I think it the real deal.

Think again

I guess Ill play devil's advocate for a moment..........

First let me say "I know nothing" about these things, but specifically, what makes this a fake?

thanks,

I can really only think of two reasons to pay $700 for such a thing.

1.) You are an avid collector of carbines, gun manufacturing implements, Inland items, or specific types of militaria.

2.) You figure you can use such an item to make money.

The second one is what scares me. I don't have a problem with stamping stocks as long as somewhere on the stock you stamp it as a reproduction, but in the hands of a dishonest person such items are dangerous. Truly an example of knowledge is going to be key for collectors to keep from being burned. The average person like me needs to gather as much info as possible, shop from people who are proven to be honest, or end up putting ourselves at the mercy of the sellers.

Clay, we are better off taking Brian's word that it is a fake, and not let them know how to correct their mistakes.....Frank

[Clay]

ahhh, point taken.

[BrianQ]

Don't take my word for it. Compare the stamp to known original Inland stampings and you'll se at least four differences right off the bat.
