Question with my Inland X suffix SN

To answer your first question, to date I am aware of only nine "X" suffixed Inland serial numbers, including yours, in the range noted in Table F here;

http://www.uscarbinecal30.com/serialnumbers.html#duplicates

They are:

941---X (yours)
942629X
943995X
947486X
946899X
947658X
947852X
948381X
950691X

I am aware of only two non "X" suffixed Inland carbines in the same serial number range.

They are:

945139
945313

Regarding "Parts Makeup", one of the non "X" suffixed carbines is described in great detail here:

http://www.uscarbinecal30.com/forum/late-1943-inland_topic3640.html

Based on this, I would conclude that most of the carbines in the range reported on the Serial Number web page, as many as 10,000, would be duplicates or "X" suffixed, many more than 500 (see CCNL 369-4). Judging from the barrel dates recorded in the Serial Number Spread Sheets I would also conclude that they were all made at about the same time and should have a similar parts makeup.

Perhaps the keeper of the Data Sheets might be able to provide more information.

Thanks Jack

@Smokepole and chipins, please post pictures of your X-suffixed Inlands along with Data Sheets in the "Carbines of the Collector's" forum and we can include them in the Serial Number Spread Sheets. That way a public record exists that adds to the general knowledge of the Club.

We have records of other X-suffixed Inlands with barrel dates 9-43 through 12-43, so it's likely original.

Will do later this week Jack

Thanks Smokepole, Colreed and Chipins. When I update the Serial Number Spread Sheets with your X-suffixed serial Inlands, I'll also add the additional serial numbers New2brass noted in CCNL 268. I also know of a few more in the hands of another private collector. I will add those once I get his permission. That brings the count to 27.

Dan, 

Dan, they're already on my list.

Bubba-7 could you post pictures and a Data Sheet in the "Carbines of the Collectors" forum so I can link it in the Serial Number Spread Sheet?

Just as another FYI, since more "X" suffix Inland dupe s/n have been posted to add to the list.

I also saw:

950723X on GB auction that ended 01/31/2022. It had a UEF 6/44 barrel on it and was all rebuilt with an M2 stock.

Also, just posted a photo in the Carbine s/n list section of:
941258X, which looks like it follows the barrel pattern with an Inland 11/43 barrel.

Damn I wanted that one on gunbroker. What did it end up going for?
