This rifle exhibits a high-polish blue finish throughout with mixed components and late features. It also has, just in front of the rear sight, the letters “AF” stamped in the receiver, similar to what this cataloger has seen on Air Force property match rifles and pistols. The components are as follows: The receiver is a late 1944-vintage Inland. All markings have been polished off the bbl. Front bbl band is a Type 3 with bayonet lug and is coded “MMQ”. The rear sight is a Type 3 stamped. Front sight is “RIA” marked and has red nail polish on the blade. Trigger guard assembly is S’G’ marked with a counter-sink on each side just above the rear guard bow. Trigger Type 3 lever safety and Type 4 mag catch are all nickel plated. Hammer is a standard Inland. Bolt shows no markings but has been nickel plated. Operating slide is IBM on the inside with a “W” stamped on the bottom. Buttstock has an “NPM” with “FJA” cartouche and “TRIMBLE TN” in the channel. Buttplate and screw, as well as the recoil shield screw and band spring, are also nickel plated. Handguard is “IO” marked with 4 rivets and the same deluxe grain as the buttstock. PROVENANCE: Tom Clinton Collection. CONDITION: Barreled action retains 95-97% of the high-polish added blue finish, as well as the trigger guard assembly, with the exception of the listed nickel components. All nickel components show all of the plating still intact with just a little dried grease present. Butt stock and handguard show a fine curly grain, with no scuffing or significant marring present and just a few minor spots of what appears to be white paint splatters. “BW” marked magazine shows near-excellent, retaining nearly all of its orig blue. Mechanics are crisp and bore is bright and shiny. 4-37346 BK23 (2,500-4,000)
