Hello,
I'm a  NFA collector that's mainly into Thompsons and BARs. I also have an eye
for period handguns, mainly Colts.
The M1 carbine has always been on my radar, but I've not bit on one due to the
rampant fraud associated with these guns.
I came across an example a couple of weeks ago that I couldn't ignore. It's an early
15,XXX Inland that I believe to be original. Time will tell as I get up to speed on these
great guns. Collectors of these carbines are every bit critical as the Thompson guys.

Darryl,
Welcome to the club!
Very nice early example!
I would love to see the marks on the barrel flat beneath the slide.
Best, Dan

Thanks,
I've sent New2brass some photos of the gun to get his opinion and maybe put together
a write up on it if he's interested. I seem to be having problems posting photos here.
 
For anyone interested, it will be on display at the SAR East show in mid March in Harrisburg PA.
It will included in the military exhibit with the Thompson Collectors Association's display.
