Inland m1 carbine

[Embalmer]

Hi folks, just curious if someone can tell me how much of my recently aquired carbine is Inland, and how much isnt. It has post war upgrades, that I do know, but am just curious how many parts are from the maker. I know some of the inland codes, but not all, and havent found any online refs to them

Parts are for Inland #329xxx
Barrel Inland 5-43
M1 low wall stock with IO in sling well, with cross cannon on right side
IO marked 2 rivet handguard
rear sight type II marked HI
type III band marked KI
Slide (dont know how to tell type) marked P.I
N marked front sight behind blade
PI or AI marked gas piston
trigger group marked was I think is a W
hammer W.A
m1 mag catch marked "m" on button side and E.I inside
rotary safety marked H.I
trigger unknown

and bolt that I replaced a round .U. bolt with a near new IO 2 flat bolt (which I know is inland)

those are all the codes I can find on it. recoil plate far as I could tell has no marks, and cant tell dif between buttplates.

thanks
Matt

Everything but the trigger housing and the hammer that you listed are Inland. They are mostly late parts. hth

Just checking, but is the receiver a "springtube" or does it have the deep drilled slide spring hole?

After closer look out of boredom, I noticed the barrel is actually marked 3-43, and not 5-43.

Would this be the original barrel?

329XXX, 3-43 barrel. Yes original.

Is the rotary safety marked H.I or H.T. ?

[Embalmer]

another closer look in better lighting, is marked H.T.
