Thanks, nice little clip. I'd like to know where he shops for $6oo. John

[Amsdorf]

All matching, all original...for $600?

[usmc-nav]

My thoughts are the same as the other guys. Enjoyed the clip but where the heck can he get it for $600. I think I will email him and offer $700 which is above the market price according to him.

Great clip, thanks! Someone recently published a short video about the French Foreign Legion using the M1 carbine, Actually did more damage to a clay block than M1 Ball, which blasted through it. Tumbling is a major attribute of the wounding potential of FMJ Military ammo.

Yes, I saw that program on the History Channel. The damage through the clay block by the carbine was so devastating it even seemed to startle the guy from the program.

he said its a winchester, but look at the bottom of the stock....looks rounded to me

Garry James a lot of times shoots weapons from his own collection. If so, I think he would know which maker it was. Did you notice the handguard?

I wonder how old the video is? They say all matching worth about $600? I'll give him $700.

The funny thing about carbines and pistols is, if you have a M1911A1 in comparable condition to that carbine, you don't shoot it. But we shoot the carbines. I guess the reason is, the pistol is worth about twice as much as the carbine since there are so many fewer pistols to go around. I have about 2000 rounds of ammo for the carbine along with about 20 original magazines and have no intention of using it for home defense or any other purpose. I suppose my priorities/strategies have changed considerably over the 20 years I've had the Inland. Now I'm just keeping it to look at every so often. I did shoot a few rounds earlier this year just to check sighting and 'take it out for a spin'. Hard to resist shooting them every so often.

I shot my Inland carbine in our clubs vintage rifle match last month. Lots of fun to shoot but my eyes are getting too old to be very competitive.
