Inland M1 carbine is it kosher?
Bought this in the late 70's, with out a stock. Picked up an after market stock at the Pomona Fair Grounds Great Western Gun Show. then she became a safe queen. can anyone tell me more about her?
Inland SN. 5460xxx barrel date 8-44 Inland Div. GM. I cant find any re-arsenal marks, nor any Import marks, barrel band has a triangle, hammer and sear "W", trigger group "Q-NL", rear site I.R.CO.7160060, front site "N", Bolt "40S". Just wondering if it's worth the effort to find a correct stock and hand guard for her? |

Seriously, I'm way too out of date on M1 Carbine to offer anything substantive. I'll have to join you in seeing what others that know the subject better have to say. |

It has a mish-mash of features.
Push-button safety and barrel band without bayonet lug are early features, while the adjustable rear sight is late. Does it have a round bolt, or is the top of the bolt flattened? I'd expect any Carbine that went through an arsenal rebuild to have all "late" features, so a gun that still has early features, or which has been "restored" with early features, might be suspect as to authenticity or originality, but it could still be a good shooter.

Rummage around here. That one has been refinished and S/N 5,460... is a Winchester range though. Duplicated S/N's are known to have happened though.
http://www.uscarbinecal30.com/ Anybody who tells you a Carbine is "all matching" is lying. None of the manufacturers made all the parts. Inland, for example, only made 9 of 'em. Oh and it has a stock. Go shooting. Carbines are great fun.

I have a Quality Hardware Carbine, and though they were considered one of the prime contractors, the receiver was apparently the only part they actually made.
