Inland Manufacturing Division M1 Carbine Serial Numbers

Inland is giving shooters a chance to snag a brand new, original production pattern, Mil-spec M1 Carbine for a very reasonable price when one considers what every other genuine 'wood and steel ' original gun costs. Inland Manufacturing produced 2,632,097 of the 6,221,220 carbines manufactured or 43%. This item is listed as 'Rack Grade' by CMP. Their definition of 'Rack Grade': Carbines have been refinished and rebuilt at least once and will exhibit in most cases varying degrees of wear on many parts.

The M1 carbine. Loved and hated in equal parts it seems. Meant to replace the pistol for rear line troops. Officers and the GIs that did not need a rifle, the M1 carbine is well known. In recent years a few companies have started to make new “clones” of the m1 carbine to satisfy the every growing demand of out Grandfather’s weapons from WW2.

When I was younger it was no big deal to buy a surplus carbine or M1 rifle. I paid 150 for my first carbine and 315 for my first M1 Garand. Then Saving Private Ryan came out, followed by Band of Brothers and all that ended. Since then, I have taken a look at most of the new made clones of WW2 arms.

The carbine in its new life has had some really crap copies made. Sadly enough in my opinion, the most atrocious of some of these clones have been the ones made in within the last few years. The one I am going to show you is not in that class. It is superb.

The Inland MFG M1 carbine is the gold standard for new made M1 carbines. Dtp full download. Inland even picked up serial numbers ranging after original production numbers in Gov.

Owned guns as a very cool touch. Now, there are a few features that may not look exact to the discerning M1 collector and expert, but all features on the gun are present to reflect the carbine over its history and retain that broad general look so iconic to us all.

One thing every one I have let handle the gun has mentioned is the wood and how it looks. This is because Inland’s personnel had a relative who worked on the original war production guns and gave all the information on the original wood stain with pictures, the formula and all steps how to attain it. That may not impress you, but that is a very neat continuation of a lost method from the original time period, that I think really ads a great touch. And it looks great indeed. Unlike some of the other new production M1 carbines or poor attempts at said carbine, the Inland comes with the adjustable rear sight. The rear is the same as found on the M1903A3, adjustable for wind and elevation. I have seen this site reproduced on the 22LR carbines meant to look like the M1 but they are cheap near useless things.
