Always been an admirer of the m1 carbine and spent many hours researching and studying this iconic firearm. This site has been by far the best place for getting accurate info to make an informed decision on what to look for when making a purchase. I recently purchased an inland at a local gun show that I am head over heels in love with.  barrel marked inland 11-43  receiver marked inland 990xxx   stock is I cut with IO stamp and flaming bomb in slingwell, cross cannon cartouche on right side  circled P on bottom. Gun has later upgrades of bayonet lug and rotary safety. I believe it is a good wartime example of the m1 and am excited to learn more about it.

Me too.  Pics look great.

good thing. I knew going into this that finding an all original piece would be next to impossible. I loved the fact that the majority of the guns parts were manufactured pre D-day and lets my imagination run wild with the thoughts of where its been. The older I get the more I appreciate the sacrifices that were made to maintain our freedom and democracy and holding onto and passing on this history. As an added bonus, its a great little gun to carry around, a blast to shoot, and quite accurate (8" groups@ 100 yds)
