Does it mean that I can't appreciate a Carbine that is 100% factory correct? No, it does not. That's not saying it's a wrong approach.It's just not the first approach I suggest. I personally do not promote the idea that all Carbines should necessarily attempt to be returned to a configuration that is perceived by a group of collectors to be correct. We can guess with reasonably high accuracy what was correct, and we can base it on many current observations, and available historical information, but there are still factors such as parts sharing that can throw a wild card into the whole thing. The issue with this approach is that no one is 100% certain how different manufacturer Carbines left their factories. Some believe that every Carbine should be returned to its absolute original configuration as it exited the factory, and if it's not in that configuration, it has problems or issues, and is automatically subpar. Members here will form their own opinions of the interactions demonstrated in this thread.Īs you know, Carbine collecting has different schools of approach.

I have not turned any facts into fallacy, but you are free to think that, if you wish. I prefer a friendlier approach, and want to help Thaddeus celebrate his new acquisition. You are free to take that approach, as you do.

With all due respect, I prefer not to put down the new acquisition of a member by referring to "problems" with their firearm's originality. in production? And also when he thinks the OP's carbine was manufactured at Inland? If you want to take facts and try to turn them into fallacy, that is your prerogative.Ĭould dalbert please tell me when Inland starting using the straight hammer marked I.K. If the OP thinks that his carbine is original, as manufactured, it does have "problems". I'm not sure what all of the markings are on the receiver group? Could anyone enlighten me on them? I would love to receive feedback on what you guys think! The buttplate appears to be a Irwin-Peterson model but does not have any markings on it. I believe that the stock is original to the rifle but I do not want to fire it because of the large crack. There also appears to be repair marks to the rear of the recoil plate area.

It appears one of the previous owners may have attempted to reinforce the wood by placing some glue on the inside.

There is also a large crack continuing past the magazine well and towards the front of the rifle.

After taking the rifle apart, it also has an OI mark inside the upper portion of the stock. The stock appears to have been sanded at some point but the cartouche and a faint HI (Hillerich & Bradsby Co.) near the slingwell. The majority of the parts that are marked are of Inland manufacture. I haven't seen an earlier barrel date one on of these things yet but really glad to have picked up an early one.

Inland barrel is marked 11-42 and serial number on the receiver correlates with the barrel date. This is an early model Inland M1 Carbine with high wood, flip sights, flat bolt, and no bayonet lug. I bought a little gift for myself after returning from some time overseas.
