My Inland Flipper Story

[22mike]

I have been looking for an early Inland flipper for quite a while. I found one for sale on a gun forum. The seller was asking over $2000 for it. It looked original to me except the low wood stock. Sooooo.......I made an offer of $1100 shipped. He accepted my offer. When I got the Carbine it was nicer than I had hoped. It was all Inland. The flipper had only original flipper sight stake marks. The hammer was a dogleg. Push button safety, original barrel, blued bolt. Now I needed a highwood Inland stock. Sooooooooo..... Off to the gun show I went today. I was happily surprised to find a nice 5 mil. Winchester mixmaster with an Inland highwood stock. I haggled and got the WRA for $800. Sooooooo..... I switched the stocks and now have a 100% Inland flipper.

That's a nice looking Carbine!

Nice. You don't say anything about the Winchester? Mixed parts? Either way highwood stock on one, shooter Winchester maybe on the other, $1900. Sounds ok to me.

The Winchester is a 5.8 mil Carbine. It has a WRA receiver, barrel and trigger housing. Inland bolt. and hammer. IBM slide. Bright shiny bore. The stock on it now is marked PJ in sling cutout. Not import marked.

Two nice finds.......................

A small point, I suppose, but the stock, excepting a miracle, while correct, is not original to that carbine.
