    Collectible M1 Inland

    Hello fellows,

    Would be more collectible an Inland with SN 2490XX or an Inland SN 5,038,7XX? The 2nd one has less wear.
    Regards, Eddie

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    2490,0xx would be an Underwood not an Inland.

    Thanks, I didn't think about that! Since that is the case, the 6-digit 249,0xx would, IMHO, have more value since that is an early rifle and one of the first batch of Inland's manufactured for the war. As always, condition and originality of parts are also important factors to consider.

    The 6 digit one has more wear, the handguard, bolt and barrel is Inland and the rest of the parts are Rock Ola.

    If you can post pictures of both rifles, the true experts on this site can give you the best advice.

    Nope, I am just the fortunate owner of "B" marked Underwood carbine with a Singer manufactured receiver. I stumbled upon it at my local gun store. I wasn't fortunate enough to find the Singer Colt however.

    I believe Eddy is talking about the Inland with the cut down barrel and Mid rear sight, he posted here:

    I think he was asking if I used "Singer" in reference to the 500 1911A1's built by Singer and which are considered by some to be the "holy grails" of 1911's. Of course, if anyone has one for sale for less than 5,000, I will be happy to take it.....okay, 10,000......okay, I'll take out a second on the house for a 100,000.....
