Yes, just surface rust, cleaned up nicely.  Bore is bright, rifling excellent.

What's the barrel date or is it undated?

that’s looks like a transitional Inland. I wouldn’t change a thing on it. I’ve been lucky and picked up a transitional inland and a transitional Winchester for very good prices because lost people overlook them as being rearsenalled

Thanks. Yeah, I don’t think this carbine has been anywhere near a refurbished arsenal.

It's odd that they stamped some barrel dates and omitted others.  Can't sense any rhyme or reason to it.

Out of 2 5.5M I have one undated and one 9-44 dated. One 6.4M with an 11-44.

that 5mil 9-44 date is odd. Could the receive have sat that long?

For a 5.5M 9-44 should be right on. Also have an 5.4M with an 8-44.
