*INLAND DUAL SPRING PROTOTYPE.

*INLAND DUAL SPRING PROTOTYPE. SN 34. Cal. 30. 18″ bbl. Inland and Winchester were each assigned tasks of coming up with prototypes to make the carbine less expensive to manufacture and less apt to wear parts. This was Inland’s answer to the Winchester M1E1. Inland was reserved SNs 31-99 for their experimental models. Two dual spring prototypes were made that were numbered 34 and 35. This example is number 34 and is pictured in Ruth’s book War Baby on p. 92. It features a round bbl with a pinned gas cylinder and a dual spring slide assembly. There were also other modifications to the trigger assembly. This action (no butt stock) has to be one of the rarest carbines in existence. PROVENANCE: Tom Clinton Collection. CONDITION: Bbl and receiver retain approx. 95-98% of the orig finish, showing signs of use. Upper handguard, which is of the early wide sight groove type, shows only light scuffing with no significant scarring at all. 4-37318 BK30 (10,000-15,000)

Auction: Firearms - Spring 2009

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
