*INLAND XB SERIES PRESENTATION CARBINE WITH EXTRA LONG BBL.

*INLAND XB SERIES PRESENTATION CARBINE WITH EXTRA LONG BBL. SN XB16. Cal. 30. 21-5/8″ bbl and extra long wood. This presentation carbine was manufactured and given out by the Inland division of General Motors. It is a high-polish blue finish, except where otherwise noted, and retains all Inland parts, including the custom made stock and handguard. The receiver retains the U.S. legend on the front receiver ring with the rear of receiver being marked “INLAND” over “XB16”. The extra long bbl retains an Inland front sight with no bbl markings and a swaged gas cylinder assembly that is similar to a Rock-ola. Front bbl band is a Type 2 that is unmarked with the provision for the sling swivel removed. Rear sight is a Type 2, milled with “PI” marking. Trigger housing has a barely legible (polished) Inland logo with a serrated magazine catch, checkered safety, checkered trigger and Type 2 dog-leg hammer. Operating slide is a Type B with “PI” stamping and is checkered at the grasping handle. Butt stock is assembled from two pieces and is jointed together 6-5/8″ in front of the magazine cut-out and 8-3/4″ from the front tip in a very fine overlapping style with a reinforcing insert on each side. Stock is carved and checkered throughout with the date of “1945” on the left side. It appears that there was a plaque on the right side of the receiver that has since fallen out of the recess. Stock also has a relief carving of an eagle in flight with the Inland shield grasped in his talons. Handguard is also handmade and is 12-5/8″ long, not counting the tin, and is also carved with the Inland shield in the sight groove. PROVENANCE: Tom Clinton Collection. CONDITION: Barreled receiver retains approx. 95% of the high-polish blue with some slight wear from being fired and also a small, approx. 1/2″ round rust spot underneath the bbl band. Trigger housing also retains better than 95% of the same high-polish blue, with only the hammer retaining factory blue. Bolt and operating slide also show better than 95% of the high-polish blue, with the body of the slide not being polished. Butt stock and handguard are in excellent condition, with only the slightest of scuffing at all, with the recoil shield and butt plate showing about all of their bright blued finish. Mechanics are crisp, bore is bright and shiny. Magazine is a standard “IS” marked. A very interesting carbine that I truly wish I had some history on. 4-37342 BK29 (4,000-8,000)
