    A couple questions about markings on my Inland M1A1.

    Hi guys posting a few more detail pics showing trigger stamp and some odd markings elsewhere. (1943 Inland) These pics are still sharp at 400% if you want a close look.

    Trigger is stamped RI, may be my imagination but I think there is a - at front and back and maybe between the letters. What should be there? What do the other marks visible on the bottom of the receiver mean?


    What is this stamp on the top of the barrel at the back?


    Trigger stamp shows a strong H, the I is lightly struck and you can only see the top of it. What is stamped on the other side of the trigger? Is there a stamp under the Inland logo? The logo looks double stamped or I'm going crosseyed.


    Shiny contact point wear to the hammer. Is it within normal expectations?


    Thanks for the assist. Almost ready to tackle the CCC data sheet.

    Good pictures. I know what you meant in your terminology, but you've made the same mistake in your post as I often do for some unknown reason - and said trigger when you meant hammer. I believe you meant sear in the first picture. There might be more than a normal amount of wear on the hammer. Take a look at the back of the bolt as well as the bottom to see how it looks where it comes in contact with the hammer. - Bob

    Yep I certainly got my part names mixed up. Reminding myself that the sear is on top of the trigger. Still a greenhorn (could be alzheimer's ). I'll post a couple pics of the back of the bolt for you guys to have a look at the wear.

    Bolt tool made it easy. I think that is all I can take pics of.

    My Data Sheet is all filled out but I found another odd marking that I am not sure is a stamp in the bottom of the trigger housing. Not supposed to be anything there from what I can find. What do you guys think?

    Could not get a better picture of it.

    I looked through pictures of my Inland trigger housings and none of them show anything like that. I'll attach a picture of one of mine. I did find a picture of an Inland operating slide with a similar mark on the bottom of it. It could be an inspector stamp of some kind. I really don't know. - Bob
