WTB: Early Inland I-Cut Stock

I have been restoring a very early Inland carbine (Serial #342) and have been fortunate enough to have obtained all of the correct parts needed with the exception of a very early Inland Stock and handguard.

Description of the stock/handguard that I need:
Inland Stock:
a. Type 1 High Wood, I-Cut. Marked in the sling well with Crossed cannons, an Ordnance Bomb and an “O” or...
b. Type 1 High Wood, I-Cut. Marked in the sling well with Crossed cannons, an Ordnance Bomb an “O” and an “LA”

2. Inland Handguard: markings: Marked “O” with a Deep Groove.

Thanks for looking.

If you can find them, probably in the $500 range.

Thank you for the kind words. When I first located this rifle in a pawn shop while traveling on vacation in MD I knew that I had to have it. I was still uncertain at the time what to do with it. The receiver, barrel, barrel band and front and rear sights were all original and in outstanding condition. The remaining components were a true mixmaster. Fortunately for me, I was contacted by a rather well known carbine collector who posts on this forum as well as the CMP Forums, and he provided me with a lot of guidance in teaching me how to identify the correct parts that I needed. He sold me some extra parts that he had and also introduced me to a couple of other members who had some of the parts that were needed.

At the end of the day I located everything I needed within four months with the exception of the stock. I’m still hoping that someone out there in Carbine-land is hanging on to one of these in hopes of finding an early Inland and may decide to sell it to a good home.

An original early inland stock or really early original inland stock with ccc in sling well? Probably almost impossible to find as most are attatched to the rest of the original carbine. On eBay such a stock would probably lead to a bidding war imo. 800-1000+.

Where ya gonna find one?

Never say never though.
