I think the jury's still out on this one. Some of the answers kind of sound a little like Mandarin.

I hope they sell a bunch. The more folks that buy from them leave that crappy old GI carbine for us.

I know they were importers of Turkish shotguns for awhile, IIRC.

Most of the original G.I. originals I see these days are going inn the $800 to $1200 at the shows. All mix masters or dubious quality probably all bought from the CMP for around 5 bills several years ago. That's in No. Ohio. other parts of the country there is a much lower availability. I have a cousin that searched high and low for one and settled for a Universal. I have seen (not shot) several Kahr's and they look nice. If the new Inlands fill a niche then more power to them. I have a '43 Inland that I only shoot a few times a year. I find it finicky at best but it's 8 years older than I am and my grandkids think I'm prehistoric.
Oh and Hi Points may be inexpensive but mine are reliable. I've never had a problem with the 9 and the problems with the .45 were made right. Oh and the .45 was one of the first in that cal. to hit the market (growing pains?) and I shoot it a lot.

Here's a link to some recent updates to the Inland website. - Bob

One of the links on the new Inland website will lead you to this article where you can see some pretty good pictures of the new guns. Be sure to click to see the enlarged pics. I see some poor fitting parts here and there - probably will be attributed to being pre-production or prototype guns." Look for the sling that wouldn't go on the right way. - Bob

I can't see much detail in the site photos but from the get-go that standard (not para) stock looked ridiculous. I can forgive the semi-pot belly but you would think they would get a LOT closer to original in the wrist & comb, if nothing else but by sub-contracting with Boyd. Is that an 'AI' on the right side of the Type 2 barrel band? Future reviews will be interesting but I wonder what is happening to all of the left coast Chinese parts that nobody is buying. ChipS

[USGI]

That does look a bit like AI on that band. It looks like the band doesn't fit right, or is loose - I think it would fly apart if you fired it. The nose of both stocks have a strange look, too - and it almost looks like the handguard rivets are in backwards like the Italian repros. Is the front sight pin split or solid? - Bob

[imarangemaster]

I have to admit, that is one terrible looking stock. Chiappa 22 Carbines have more correct stocks!
