I was looking over some M1icon carbine parts I received a few days ago and we noticed that the magazine well on this Inland TH was about 3/4" longer than that of a normal TH magazine well. (see picture - "normal" magazine well is on mounted rifle) After a (yet) closer look, there was some definite weld marks, as you can see in the other picture.

Obviously not a GI improvement, but I'd be curious to know what cartridge this was designed? I looked in Larry Ruth's "War Baby Comes Home" and he did talk of a .224 cartridge.

Maybe just a Bubba wildcat project?
