Has anyone purchased one of the new Inland Manufacturing M1 Carbines that are being produced in Dayton, OH? https://www.inland-mfg.com" rel="nofollow - https://www.inland-mfg.com I handled one at OGCA last year, and it looked pretty nice, but it was only a 30-second look that I took of it. I'm interested if anyone has purchased one, shot one, and has any kind of feedback about them. David Albert dalbert@sturmgewehr.com |

Good grief, I just read the posts on this link, and would really suggest others do also. I think the people posting were trying to be as honest as possible.

I would guess that they are a lot like new car models when they first come out, a lot of little glitch's that get resolved very soon. Hopefully they have a Customer Relations dept set up to take care of them. ------------- Retired Army, 22 years. |

I have been a fan of the Carbine since I carried a M2 in Korea, and a chopped M2 in Vietnam. I got back into the Carbines the 1st part of this year with a nice 1943 Underwood. I love shooting it, and have it as a backup Home Defense gun along with my S&W 9mm. I have wanted to get something like the chopped M2 I had in Nam, but only choices were one of the old Enforcers type pistols, and they have lots of problems with reliability for a SHTF or Home Defense gun. The timing of the new Inland Advisor release was perfect, and I decided to get one. My Advisor came in yesterday, and is sitting here being disassembled,inspected, cleaned and lubed. I will test fit it into my other cut down Carbine stock tomorrow and get some photos. These are a little expensive, but are built to USGI Specs, so I can have a spare parts kit for both the Underwood and this, and use the same ammo and mags in my SHTF gear. I carried a spare bolt in Nam, and will with these also. Here is a link to my Carbine Page. http://webpages.charter.net/wd4ngb/carbine.htm It has a few photos of my 1943 Underwood, and my history with the Advisor Carbine. As soon as I have the cut down M1 Carbine stock fitted to the new Inland Advisor, I will take some photos latter today. I will take it to the range for some break in and testing next week. ------------- Retired Army, 22 years. |

Well I received my Inland Advisor Carbine Pistol, and took it apart to inspect, clean and lube. So far, so good. Everything seems fine so far. I tested my Underwood bolt and trigger assembly into the Advisor, and the Advisor's into the Underwood, and they swap just fine. I checked the head space on both, and just fine. Dry fired both, and checked feeding ammo from my known good mags, and they work just fine. Will do a range test in the near future. Advisor and its stock
 Mounted in my cut down M1 Carbine stock. This is how the one I carried in Nam looked.   ------------- Retired Army, 22 years. |

While there may have been some "soft bolt" issues early in the "New Inland Carbine" production, I believe that Ron Norton may have replaced the offending bolts, replacing them with properly tempered units. ------------- "Political correctness is fascism disguised as manners." - George Carlin "Fast is fine, but accuracy is final." - Wyatt Earp |

I like the looks and the feel of it in the cut down stock a lot more than the Para stock. The one I carried on Nam was a cut down M2, and was as accurate as you could expect for a 10 inch barrel. In single shot mode, about 100 yards would result in about a 8 - 10 inch group. With no butt stock, my rope sling was adjusted so it was tight when I extended it, and held under the front. This gives a very stable firing position. Most of the time on Auto, it was for 25 yards or less, from the hip, or slightly higher. I am setting this one up with a short rail under the front, and putting a grip stop on it, with a combo light/laser on it. Will post up photo in a day or 2. ------------- Retired Army, 22 years. |

Perfect back up Home Defense, and SHTF gun. I prefer this over a AR type rifle because it is much lighter, smaller, more maneuverable, plenty of stopping power with ammo like Hornady Critical Defense in typical defensive distances. and much less chance of a missed shot traveling too far and hitting a unintended target, especially in a sub division. With the light/laser under it, very quick target acquisition. ------------- Retired Army, 22 years. |

Looks like "#ell on wheels" to me! We have both seen enough death in our times, and we don't readily warm to the idea. On the other hand, I don't intend to die before my time. This is why I'm so fond of the M1 Carbine. The "little rifle" can raise "Holy Ned" in a heartbeat! When I was a little boy, I called my Daisy Western Field BB rifle "Old Betsy". I have been trying to create a moniker for my A/O AOM 130 M1 Carbine.

You may already know this, but if you purchase a forged bolt from either Fulton Armory, or James River Armory, your bolt may have a longer life than those from Inland. From what I understand, either the FA or JRA are superbly machined to the "n" th level of perfection. I hope that Ron Norton has solved the "soft bolt" problem.

Yea, I have followed all that stuff. Since this is a real part of my HD, I picked up a complete spare bolt, a extra bolt rebuild kit, and trigger kit, and proper tools. This is part because of unknown quality, but more from 22 years of Army, and always having a backup plan. If Hillary gets in, many things will change, and I want to have all bases covered.

Heck, we can get together and raise a "racket".  The M1 and M2 carbines worked quite well in 'Nam. People saw the M1 as inferior, but it isn't so. (Audie Murphy didn't think so). Daddy didn't care for it (UDT/NRT) but I do. It beats the daylights out of the Thompson Submachinegun. Captain O

Hahaha, "raise a racket". Unfortunately, I think my generation (18-young 20 somethings) is to blame for the hildebeast... outside of those in the armed services, the things I often hear from my "peers" kind worries me. Politics aside, I hope the issues with the Inland carbines have been ironed out. Dayton's industry has taken some hard hits over the last few decades, and I don't think this presidency, or the recession, has helped any. Hopefully Inland can put some life back into the city. Like you, I want options, and back up options.. so in addition to my USGI carbines, I have a Mini 14 and am building a brand new HD carbine off of a JRA receiver. I recently ordered a fulton bolt for it, and am planning to replace the GI trigger housing with a new fulton trigger housing and get a brand new criterion barrel fitted to the JRA receiver. The stock, to include the handguard, is all original ROK military.   |

Say, SeoulFood, do you like the offering(s) from Buffalo Bore? With a maximum Pound Per Square Inch average of 40, 000 it doesn't exceed the maximum allowed by the SAMMI pressure limit. Buffalo Bore calls it their "full power" .30 Carbine load. While I wouldn't recommend these loads for a WWII vintage Carbine, your James River Armory Carbine will probably tolerate it reasonably well. The JSP loads should prove quite effective against smaller deer. The JHP would make for a great "house load". Their FMJ will penetrate 30+ in living flesh (and will likely pass handily through most living skeletal structures). BTW, when I walked into a local Chinese restaurant, I wisecracked "Do you serve Chinese food?" The waiter replied, "Yes sir, we serve everyone food." That was my 44-year-old joke of the day.

I would think any pistol or small firearm would be a good self defense weapon in the hand of anyone "WHO KNOWS HOW TO USE IT PROPERLY". Every situation is "DIFFERENT". Use what you are comfortable/trained with! Just my opinion!!!!!!!!!!!!!

| Cpt O, I will say the Buffalo Bore rounds look enticing. Once I finish the new carbine I may test some of their FMJ rounds. For now I've pretty much sworn by Sellier and Bellot for FMJ rounds. For HD I've been hoarding some Hornady critical defense rounds, but I have yet to use them and see how they hold up against my various fruit/bags of flour targets. Unfortunately, being that I'm in Korea right now I haven't got to shoot my carbine much! |

I have a feeling that the Hornady Critical Defense will be quite effective. They are specially constructed to perform much as a Hollow Soft Point. (The plastic nose cap is very good at ensuring proper feeding). Buffalo Bore is loading these "up to the maximum pressure edge" but not over. This is how they squeeze 2100 fps from all three 110-grain bullet configurations. I truly believe that if the police were to replace the AR-15 with M1 Carbines (once again) an loaded them with Buffalo Bore's 110-grain JSP, It would serve even better than the AR, because it is lighter, and will perform just as well within 100 yards and doesn't look like a "military" rifle.

Seoul, you need to get some sights on that soon in case Crazy Kim goes total nuts. :) I have a few boxes of Critical Defense now, and would love to compare to the Buffalo's if they feed OK. Oh, that Korean writing on the stock is my name... :) So far my Advisor is doing fine. Have spare parts as backup.

Many shooters keep telling me that the preponderance of the Auto Ordnance M1 Carbines (Model AOM 130) shoot well and have no problems. This includes Jeff Quinn at Gunblast.com. After I have the chance to shoot the Auto Ordnance/Kahr I'll let everyone know how well it feeds/functions. I am sorely tempted to first polish the feed ramp of the rifle. This is so that the piece can readily chamber (and digest) Jacketed Soft Point ammunition. I value this far above just shooting Full Metal Jacket fodder. I'm planning on shooting small and medium game (up to 200 pounds) as well as big, "bad guys".

wd4ngb: I agree that Crazy Kim is "nuttier than squirrel $#it". He is also twice as likely to attack the United States West Coast with Nuclear warheads than Fidel Castro ever was. (It has been confirmed that he has recently attained the capability to do so). Were I SeoulFood, I'd be doing my level best to leave that particular portion of the hemisphere. Plenty of Soft Point ammunition that feeds well and shoots reliably would seem to be the imperative.

Yea, I had 4 tours in Korea, and Kim come from a family of Fruit Cakes! I really do not see North Korea lasting another 10 years. They are slowly collapsing from within. They had Russia as there Step Father, then they pulled out and China took over. This nut case has all but thumbed his nose at China, and they are about to drop them also.

Very nice kit, have you considered a gas mask? I don't think hardly any of us has the budget to survive a full CBRN attack, but maybe just a cheap Israeli mask or something that would at least give you a chance against CS or smoke canisters might not be a bad purchase.

I passed along the idea of installing a Fulton Armory or James River Armory bolt in a New Inland Carbine whose bolt has begun to fail. Others have stated that they are uncertain of the bolt's ability to fit in the New Inland Carbine receiver. I believe in the old adage: "The proof of the pudding is in the eating". Apparently wd4ngb has "eaten several helpings", and seems entirely satisfied.

I've had a fair amount of experience with more than a half dozen new Inland Mfg carbines over the past year and a half. I've seen and heard the responses from Inland regarding them properly hardening the bolt now, with "now" being more than a year ago. My experience and calibrated Rockwell Hardness Test Machine has shown otherwise. My recommendation is have a look at the page on the new Inland I now have posted and if you own one monitor the areas shown closely. http://www.m1carbinesinc.com/carbine_inland.html" rel="nofollow - http://www.m1carbinesinc.com/carbine_inland.html As indicated on the web page, the bolts used by Inland Mfg and Auto-Ordnance are not manufactured to GI specs. The body of their bolt is slightly longer than GI, the left lug is slightly shorter than GI and the right lug is off spec in several ways. This doesn't mean a GI bolt or bolt from another manufacturer won't work. It means they may or may not work due to the different dimensions and loose tolerances of the receivers used by both Inland and Auto-Ordnance. If you use a GI bolt in either an Inland or an Auto-Ordnance be sure to monitor the face of the hammer for damage. Their hammers are hardened to operate with the hardness of their bolts and a GI bolt will shorten the life of their hammers. These carbines are not GI carbines, they are replicas of GI carbines as all commercial carbines are. These two manufacturers have chosen to alter certain dimensions that will work with other parts they have altered but not necessarily GI parts or other commercial parts. What these two manufacturers don't do is finish machine many of the cast parts. Those they do machine the quality of the work varies from one carbine to the next. This helps keep their overhead costs down and profit margins at a level they wish to maintain. The trade off is the money they save is a cost passed on to the end users who don't catch the problems before their warranty expires. I'm working on an update/overhaul of the Auto-Ordnance page with up to date information. The info on the Inland page is also current information, albeit a repeat of several ongoing issues that are still issues that need to be monitored. Jim |

Hi , I purchased an new Inland 1945 carbine almost 2 years ago, shortly after they were introduced. The fit and finish was good except for the groove in the wood barrel shroud, the upper edge of the groove was a little too high and obscured the right ear of the front sight. I carefully removed and reshaped the shroud until it was perfect. As far as accuracy i can average 3 to 4" groups bench resting at 50 yds with iron sights. The only problem i am having is FTF cartridges into the chamber, it happens quite frequently. The bolt will strip the cartridge from the magazine but jams the cartridge sometimes between the top of the feed ramp and the left side of the chamber. Can i attribute this to the Rifle not being broken in yet ? Or is it possible my cartridges COL may be too long. I have fired about 300 rounds through it since new.

To help isolate it, try firing the carbine with the magazine sitting on a table or something putting some pressure on the magazine. If if feeds good, the mag catch is the problem. A good M2 USGI one will fix it. http://webpages.charter.net/wd4ngb/trigger%20parts.htm" rel="nofollow - http://webpages.charter.net/wd4ngb/trigger%20parts.htm ------------- Retired Army, 22 years. |

| Yes I have tried quite a few different types and the 15 round mags have fewer FTF then the 30 round mags. And i did change out the magazine catch with the M2 type. I have magazines that were supplied by Inland, Fulton, Keep Shooting and Korean made ones, have no favorites among them. I am leaning towards carefully polishing the feed ramp. |

Here is the up dated Advisor. I added a 2/1 sling to it, and replaced the laser/light combo with a high output Green Laser. This is good out to 300 yards in daylight, and way farther than it will shoot at night. Took it to the range and it is Awesome !
  Wish I had this sling in Nam. It can go from a single point to a traditional 2 point in about 10 seconds. This is how it is used in the single point configuration. This allows the advisor to be pushed out using the forward grip stop to have tension on the sling for stability almost as solid as a rifle. Below is a similar style sling shown for clarity only. It can be pivoted around so the gun hangs along your side, then quickly put into action when needed.  ------------- Retired Army, 22 years. |
