I'm a new member here but old at collecting. Over the years I've had 50 or more carbines. Many of them were fairly rare or uncommon. Today though, I only have 3. One is a 26,000+ serial Inland that I found at OGCA. It is about 80% original condition. I'm restoring it to as built configuration. Only need a rear sight to complete the job. Another one is an Inland X suffix Saginaw built receiver fully restored. The third is an AO/IBM/NPM lineout. It too is fully restored. I guess I like the rarities and oddballs. Used to collect lineouts, but ended up selling them due to some financial difficulties.
I also like other military firearms from the WWII era. Probably the most unusual one I currently have is a Hi-Standard .22 pistol. It is a model B-US. They were used for training folks who were unfamiliar with handguns. Some of you may recognize my handle. Others may know me by Jimb16. Been around other sites for years. Just say Hi!

Jim, Welcome to the forums. I remember you from your posts and pictures of your lineouts and other interesting carbines at the forumco forums.
Sadly, those pictures and the forum are long gone, A detriment to research on the subject. If you still have those pictures I for one would love to see them. We also have a section to discuss other military firearms. It is a subsection of the "General Discussion section." Best, Dan
