Here is the up dated Advisor. I added a 2/1 sling to it, and replaced the laser/light combo with a high output Green Laser. This is good out to 300 yards in daylight, and way farther than it will shoot at night. Took it to the range and it is Awesome !
Wish I had this sling in Nam. It can go from a single point to a traditional 2 point in about 10 seconds. This is how it is used in the single point configuration. This allows the advisor to be pushed out using the forward grip stop to have tension on the sling for stability almost as solid as a rifle. Below is a similar style sling shown for clarity only. It can be pivoted around so the gun hangs along your side, then quickly put into action when needed. |

I checked out the Milsurpls site. Very disappointing review. I was considering getting a new one but at a grand I am having second thoughts. Maybe I'll look for another USGI and wait until they work out these issues. Hopefully they will.

To wd4ngb (Mr. Richards), have you had any offers on the Advisor stock that has been replaced?

I touche on this on an earlier post. If you have to slap the mag to set it, the little tabs need to be filed just a little bit. Retry with the mag full to see if you have filed enough. I found this mag repair on YOUTUBE.

Yes, I have tried 4 different manufactures with nothing to write home about, they all function about the same, 15 round function a little better then the 30 round ones. I won't give up trying to solve this FTFeed
issue. Thank you. Glenn

Thanks for the advice, i tried polishing it with my Dremel with cylinder shaped fob & some jewlers rouge but i didn't have the cone shaped Fobs to do a proper job. I have seen these fobs on Ebay but haven't gotten around to buying some yet. I will give them a try. I am also trying different case lengths on my reloads to see if that is an issue.

Thank you,
I failed to mention in my original post that i had changed out the mag catch with the M2 type along with changing the cross bolt safety with the lever type. I have noticed that some mags fit tighter then some other ones i have.

Yes I have tried quite a few different types and the 15 round mags have fewer FTF then the 30 round mags. And i did change out the magazine catch with the M2 type. I have magazines that were supplied by Inland, Fulton, Keep Shooting and Korean made ones, have no favorites among them. I am leaning towards carefully polishing the feed ramp.

To help isolate it, try firing the carbine with the magazine sitting on a table or something putting some pressure on the magazine. If if feeds good, the mag catch is the problem. A good M2 USGI one will fix it.

Polishing the feed ramp definitely made a difference in my S'G' I'd go for it.

Hi , I purchased an new Inland 1945 carbine almost 2 years ago, shortly after they were introduced.
The fit and finish was good except for the groove in the wood barrel shroud, the upper edge of the groove was a little too high and obscured the right ear of the front sight. I carefully removed and reshaped the shroud until it was perfect. As far as accuracy i can average 3 to 4" groups bench resting at 50 yds with iron sights. The only problem i am having is FTF cartridges into the chamber, it happens quite frequently. The bolt will strip the cartridge from the magazine but jams the cartridge sometimes between the top of the feed ramp and the left side of the chamber. Can i attribute this to the Rifle not being broken in yet ? Or is it possible my cartridges COL may be too long. I have fired about 300 rounds through it since new.

I've had a fair amount of experience with more than a half dozen new Inland Mfg carbines over the past year and a half. I've seen and heard the responses from Inland regarding them properly hardening the bolt now, with "now" being more than a year ago. My experience and calibrated Rockwell Hardness Test Machine has shown otherwise.
My recommendation is have a look at the page on the new Inland I now have posted and if you own one monitor the areas shown closely. http://www.m1carbinesinc.com/carbine_inland.html As indicated on the web page, the bolts used by Inland Mfg and Auto-Ordnance are not manufactured to GI specs. The body of their bolt is slightly longer than GI, the left lug is slightly shorter than GI and the right lug is off spec in several ways. This doesn't mean a GI bolt or bolt from another manufacturer won't work. It means they may or may not work due to the different dimensions and loose tolerances of the receivers used by both Inland and Auto-Ordnance. If you use a GI bolt in either an Inland or an Auto-Ordnance be sure to monitor the face of the hammer for damage. Their hammers are hardened to operate with the hardness of their bolts and a GI bolt will shorten the life of their hammers. These carbines are not GI carbines, they are replicas of GI carbines as all commercial carbines are. These two manufacturers have chosen to alter certain dimensions that will work with other parts they have altered but not necessarily GI parts or other commercial parts. What these two manufacturers don't do is finish machine many of the cast parts. Those they do machine the quality of the work varies from one carbine to the next. This helps keep their overhead costs down and profit margins at a level they wish to maintain. The trade off is the money they save is a cost passed on to the end users who don't catch the problems before their warranty expires. I'm working on an update/overhaul of the Auto-Ordnance page with up to date information. The info on the Inland page is also current information, albeit a repeat of several ongoing issues that are still issues that need to be monitored. Jim |

I passed along the idea of installing a Fulton Armory or James River Armory bolt in a New Inland Carbine whose bolt has begun to fail. Others have stated that they are uncertain of the bolt's ability to fit in the New Inland Carbine receiver. I believe in the old adage:
"The proof of the pudding is in the eating". Apparently wd4ngb has "eaten several helpings", and seems entirely satisfied. Would you care to address the people on the Milsurps Forum?

Very nice kit, have you considered a gas mask? I don't think hardly any of us has the budget to survive a full CBRN attack, but maybe just a cheap Israeli mask or something that would at least give you a chance against CS or smoke canisters might not be a bad purchase.

I picked up a spare USGI complete bolt and trigger, plus a bolt rebuild rebuild kit, and complete spring kit to have for future long term use.
Since the need for a SHTF plan is needed more and more, I put together some gear that should cover anything I may need on short notice. http://webpages.charter.net/wd4ngb/shtf.htm If some changes take place in our 2nd Amendment rights, I am pretty much ready to get through it. |

I think we should give the South Koreans nukes, and leave. It will save us time, money, and ultimately it will enable the ROK to defend themselves against the only advantage the North has.
