New inland M1 carbine

[dickydalton]

My $600 Kahr/AO needed about 60 rounds to break it in and is way beyond 3000 rounds since with no issues at all. I use the magazine that came with it and milsurp mags that I bought new in wax wrap on GB when I bought the carbine.

Good price. Bud's wants $731 before shipping and ffl fees (and sales tax for those of us in Texas)

Buds is in Kentucky. Tx should not be charging sales tax. They have never charged it to me

Oops, was thinking of Dan's in Bastrop. I are an idiot.

AO Carbine:


S.G. GI:


I added a GI ramp rear sight to the A.O, and treated with BLO - it didn't have nearly as good woodgrain before. Other than not being able to fix a bayonet, they are about the same, although not interchangeable on major components.

Other than not being able to fix a bayone

Which is actually more accurate for before 1945.

True, the AO is early config on barrel band, sights, and safety. The "new Inland" is later specifications.

The early sights are not well regulated and aren't adjustable for elev. and windage. Best go with the later sights as every carbine I've ever shot benefited from adj sights.
