*CONSECUTIVELY NUMBERED PAIR OF INLAND M-1 CARBINES.

*CONSECUTIVELY NUMBERED PAIR OF INLAND M-1 CARBINES. SN 248815, 248816. Cal. 30. GUN 1: 18″ bbl. This February of 1943 Inland shows some orig components along with some arsenal upgrades. Components are as follows: Barreled action shows orig February of 1943 with correct front and rear sights, but does retain an “AMCO” Type 3 bbl band and bayonet lug upgrade. Bolt is a transition bolt which is a flat blued “AI” marked bolt with a standard blue extractor. Trigger housing retains all orig Inland components, including a push-button safety and Type 2 dog-leg hammer. The correct mounting pin is missing the spring. Operating slide is Type 1 with the butt stock and handguard having been upgraded. Butt stock shows to be an oval-cut, low-wood with the broken wheel cartouche and an “RIA” over “EB” stamp. Upper handguard assembly is a 2-rivet Underwood. GUN 2: 18″ bbl. This gun shows slightly better than gun 1, retaining orig sights with the same Type 3 bbl band/bayonet lug upgrade with the “JMQ” code on it. Trigger housing and components are correct for the February of 1943 production date, including a push-button safety and Type 2 dog-leg hammer, but retains a slightly later cross pin. Operating slide is Type 1 early Inland, as it should be, and the blued flat bolt is “AI” marked retaining a standard extractor. Butt stock is the correct “I” cut/high-wood with “IO” and an ordnance bomb in the channel. The “IO” marked, 2-rivet upper handguard shows to be a small groove, which is correct for this transition period. PROVENANCE: Tom Clinton Collection. CONDITION: GUN 1: Receiver retains approx. 85% of the orig finish with the majority of loss being at the wood line. Bbl retains approx. 90% of the orig finish showing signs of being in a scabbard or a rack. Trigger housing and operating slide each show better than 95% of their orig finish. Butt stock and handguard both show good-plus with just a little minor bruising. Orig “AI” flat bottom magazine shows near-excellent. Mechanics are crisp and bore is bright although it shows some wear. GUN 2: This barreled action retains better than 95% of the orig dark gray parkerized finish, as does the trigger housing and slide assemblies. The magazine catch and pins show blued, while the hammer shows in the white with the plunger being blued. Butt stock shows good-plus with only a few minor scuff marks present and a barely legible circle “P” on the pistol grip. Butt stock also retains a rack number “3 43”. Upper handguard shows good with a small “ACRA-GLASS” repair on the right side approx. 1″ from the rear. Mechanics are crisp and the bore is bright and shiny. Correct Inland magazines on both guns are in very good condition. 4-37362 BK15 (3,500-5,500)
