*INLAND M-1 “X” (DUPLICATE) NUMBERED CARBINE.

*INLAND M-1 “X” (DUPLICATE) NUMBERED CARBINE. SN 5550149X. Cal. 30. 18″ bbl. This is an October of 1944 manufactured Inland, showing the rare duplicate SN feature where they realized their error and added an “X” to the SN. Rifle shows all the correct components for this period, such as Type 2 bbl band and Type 3 stamped rear sight marked “I R COMPANY” with NO drawing board number. Trigger housing assembly shows all Inland components, such as push-button safety and “EI” marked mag catch with the hammer, plunger, retaining pin and mounting pins being blued and the balance being parkerized. Operating slide is Type B, “PI” marked, with the curved side. Buttstock is correct low-wood for the period, with the “IO” marking in the channel and the large ordnance wheel on the right side. Rifle is also equipped with a Boyt 44 magazine pouch and a 1944-dated sling. Upper handguard is an unmarked 4-rivet that matches the stock in color, grain and condition. PROVENANCE: Tom Clinton Collection. CONDITION: Rifle appears unfired, retaining only the slightest of wear on the metal components from disassembly and dry operation. Buttstock shows near-excellent with a light scratch on the pistol grip and one small ding on the upper left edge of the receiver. Handguard shows near-excellent with no visible scarring whatsoever. “RUGG” marked magazine shows near-new also. Mechanics are crisp and bore shows new. Overall a great example of both a duplicate SN and later production carbine. 4-37344 BK17 (2,500-4,000)
