    Inland M1 Carbine Help

    Hello all, I inherited a Inland carbine when my dad passed away while I was in Iraq last year. I just finally got to take a closer look at it and I'm wondering what its value is. The receiver is inland ser. number 724xxx and the front left has SG on it, The barrel is marked inland with a date of 4-43. The bolt is flat on one side with AI on the lug. The slide is marked PI, The extractor, firing pin, and mag release are marked W-I or I-M depending which side you read them from. The trigger is marked UI. The hammer is a dog leg type marked GI. The trigger housing has inland stamped on it. The stock has the inland cartouche and OI marked in the sling well. It has the flip rear sight and no bayonet lug. Tried to add some pictures but couldn't get them to load. The gun is excellent shape, It was still covered in cosmolineicon. . Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    11Bravo, welcome and thank you for your service. So sorry to here about your father. The carbine sounds like a desirable one. Pictures will help determine value. What you describe sounds like a correct, not messed with 6 digit Inland. Does the stock have the I cut on the right? Is it a high wood or low wood? What are the stamps on the rear sight and barrel band? Someone will give you advise on loading pics. I still have trouble doing it. Your going to get alot of help with this, I'm sure.....Frank

    P.S. I have a soft spot for the Infantry

    frankderrico, I don't know what you mean by the stock having a I cut into it, but in the sling well there is a OI marking and also a P on the bottom of the grip. What is the difference between the high and low wood? The front sight has a N marked on it, and the rear sight has a S, but I cant find a mark on the barrel band itself but the sling swivel has a UI on it. You have to excuse me I'm a newbie to this gun and I have no idea what I'm doing. Here is a link to the photos of my carbine.

    Bravo, here's a thread with a good explanation of the differences. High/wood low wood refers to the amount of wood covering the operating slide on the right side of the stock I-Cut refers to the slot for the oiler in the buttstock. Early carbines had a "I: cut, i.e the cutout resembles a capital "I" with flared out ends. Later oiler cuts were oval at the ends.

    Gary, your going to become good at these weapons from an earlier war. I think your going to like walnut vs. plastic, from a collectors point of view. Your father left you a gem for your first carbine. Don't change a thing on it. Very nice early Inland. Value? My thought $1,000.00 or more. Lets see what others on the forum say, but that gets you in the ballpark.....Frank

    Its in the same grouping of SN as mine, 4-43 barrel too, and type 2 stock. Its worth over $1500.00 if 100% original, I think the original finish was dulite black oxide.
