Updated Inland 6 digit rebuild pics.

[imarangemaster]

I mentioned that I replaced the cartouched high wood with an M2 potbelly, so the cartouched high wood wouldn't get banged up. This is my "shooter" and go to Home Defense Weapon. I love shooting this thing!

Here are the updated pics of my 6 digit Inland 1950s rebuild. It had been refinished with a charcoal grey (almost black) manganese phosphate finish that we started using in the 1950s. It has a 1944 year only dated Underwood replacement barrel with "0" ME. It was a "white bag weapon," but the guy I got it from kept the stock it had on it from the rebuild, because it was the early Inland I cut when he got it.

The bayonet is a rubber handled M4. I believe it is post-Korean War, made in Korea for their M1s we left them.

Thanks! I know everyone seems to want their carbine to be "WW2ish" which is cool. My dad carried an Inland on Iwo Jima. Myself, and maybe it is because I was in at the very end of the Vietnam War (stateside) I really prefer it in its Korea/Vietnam era trim with potbelly stocks and 30 round magazines. That is how I carried it as an LEO trunk weapon for many years, and I still like it. It just feels better in the hands to me.

Did the (2) cartons of ammo shown come from the "Ammunition Box"? Is that some of your WWII Kings Mills? That's a neat metal "Box" - WWII or Korea? Thanks! - Bob

Yep, that's my last two boxes of Kings Mill ammo. The ammo can came from Iwo Jima. My dad had it filled with his personal stuff when he came home. I have a second one that was his too. It also came from Iwo Jima. It's actually in better shape, and is in storage with the rest of his WW2 stuff he passed to me.

From what I honestly know, the rubber handles were a refurb for bayonets that came from one of the wet climates like the Philippines...They were selling in some places for staggering amounts, while they were selling in Vancouver for $10-$15 CDN. I bought a couple but no longer have them. Yours is VERY nice...

I mentioned my dad's Iwo Jima stuff, so I thought I would post his maps again. I had posted them a few years ago, so here they are now. One is a minefield map he was issued so he didn't blow himself up traveling between units as the HQ Signals NCOIC. The other is a 1944 dated pre-invasion planning maps. Show plans for depots, airfields , supply and fuel dumps and LOTS of cemeteries.
