Inland in family 47 years

[Rustship]

Im new to the site, and would like to show my newly acquired carbine. My dad got 2 of these from NRA in 1963 for $25.00 bucks. My older brother had it and I swapped him for some pistols. I shot my first deer with ball ammo from this rifle when I was 12 yrs old (46 years ago), and now I have it for my grandson who is in love with it. I have been cleaning on it and studying the history of carbines for a couple of weeks now. I guess at some time, years back my dad put a scope on it hiding the serial number. Barrel is Inland dated 12-44, has crossed cannons on each side of stock, and IO in sling cavity. Gonna go out with my grandson tomorrow and shoot some rounds through it. Gun show coming up on 23rd in Houston, so we will be getting a sling and oiler, and a buttstock mag holder. everything looks to be inland numbers. This gun has not been shot in 20yrs or so. I did test fire 3 rounds last week at 50 yrds and shot good. Spent the last week cleaning up the stock and reoiling it with BLO.
