Pics of the new Inland

[Curt]

I posted a couple weeks back I scored a couple new carbines, finally had time to break down the Inland, I think it is a real study of 3.0 Mil. I don't think I ever owned a carbine with this few miles on it. Sorry about the poor pics. The only metal wear on the finish is the rear ridge of the bolt and a couple light barrel scrapes, and hammer face when I saw that the trigger housing components all had a rich dark finish including the hammer spring guide and no wear from the spring I assumed someone had messed with it, after seeing the inside of the stock looks like it has never seen soot or oil I realized this thing may have only seen a couple clips of ammo.

My goodness. Seems to have all the early stuff. As long as they're not repro parts. I would have no idea. But why wouldn't it have an early hammer? Is that hammer correct for that number?

Wow. Green stamp and all. Beautiful.

Excellent! Could be a twin of my 3 million Inland.

Time to break down and get "U.S. M1 Carbines, Wartime Production" by Riesch. - Bob

Nice find Curt. The hammer is a type 3 and correct for the serial number.

Thanks guys I fully believe it is as it left the factory, I questioned the slide but found last months thread on them. A friend from the gun club brought it over with one of his buddies it was the friends brother he inherited it and his brothers 38 service revolver, he said it was his brothers trunk gun during the 60's riots and he probally bought it or was given it by a friend in the neighberhood where he worked as a cop (sounded like one of the ethnic Cleveland burbs like little Italy or such).

It had 3 loaded rusty mags and a ratty rust stained stock pouch all. 1945 dated ammo except 5 French rounds and 1 tracer???
Long story short they brought it over to get a value the night before the gun show and I saved them $6 admission

was a late feature, the early ones being flat top/bottom.. It is sure pretty.
