Inland M1 Carbine .30 Carbine 1944

Serial Number 5148837, 30 Carbine, 18" barrel with a very good plus bore with a few light pits but strong rifling. The carbine retains about 99% importer applied parkerized finish with light wear on the round bolt and receiver rail, and scattered light handling mark. The low wood walnut stock is in very good condition with some light chips around the oval sling cut, dark staining near the buttplate, and light handling marks throughout; the stock features an M2 selector cut. Beneath the 4-rivet hand guard, the stock is marked "SA" and the comb is white pencil numbered "222". The receiver markings on the carbine have been softened by the reapplied parkerized finish, and the original barrel markings are entirely obscured leaving only the "Blue Sky" importer mark along the left side of the barrel. The stamped adjustable rear sight, the front sight, and the rotary safety are all of Inland Division manufacture, and the Type 3 barrel band is marked "JMQ". Included with the carbine is a single 15 round magazine, and green fabric sling.
