The military did rebuild many of the battle damaged or worn out M1’s using whatever parts were on hand. They didn’t care who made the parts or if they matched that receiver or not. So, you can have a mismatched rifle and it is still an authentic and original military M1 carbine.

Great video.... We recently found my Great Grandpa’s M1 hidden in my grandmother’s house and I will use this video to check our the history of this great firearm!!!!

Standard Product and Quality Hardware. Both 1943. I bought both of these weapons back in the 80s. Great weapon.

Didn’t even realize until he said there were 2 different receivers... just took mine apart and I have the rare one with the detachable spring housing!

Thank you so much this video helped me confirm that a rifle I bought and am waiting for has an IBM corp receiver to match it's barrel.

Thank you for your very informative video.

Today I received my m1 and was happy to see it was matching and made by inland! $1000 with a bayonet seems like a steal

Yay! Mines legit. Thanks for the video sir

Thank You very much, Sir...

great video. thank you

I highly recommend this book.

Excellent video

On the M-1 with the original flip sight Type 1 I was wondering which sight opening is used up to 100 yards

Great video !

great video

In the process of changing out some parts on my six(6) digit serial number Inland. Barrel is marked 8-43. The serial number range is 571,6xx. Not sure but I’m thinking this is an early production gun maybe 43-44. Barrel is excellent with great lands and grooves and an excellent shooter. Looking for a nice Inland marked high wood stock set.

Many Thanks Sir!...

Thank you great!

Thank you Sir fir the information, I bought one as President Clinton was entering the White House.....went in to a gun store and wanted something Clinton may just ban from buying ( almost had the same scare with his old lady trying to get in this year. Anyway the store owner said that he just received some M1's in and wanted to clean them up, the one I bought had to me Korean writing on them and it was marked on a painted spot with a number. Was made by Inland 6/44. Told the guy I'd take it as is as I thought the stamping and writing may hold some historical value. Has the newer sight w/ the windage adjustment and clearly marked just underneath the sight and also up front with the date 6/44 and thoughts Sir

I had one here in the philipines.

How much is my 30cal carbine worth it's all regular with the army sling and oiler and the belt to carry clips

I have an inland 1944 dated barrel with in land reciver type 2 PI marked rear site!

I'm looking at purchasing an M1 Carbine but I have some questions on it and was hoping someone could assist. The serial number checks out to be Winchester and is consistent with the serial numbers displayed in this video indicating it is from 1944 or about. However I don't see any markings above the serial number to indicate that it is a Winchester. Also the letters CCSO are stenciled ahead of the type 2 rear site. Not sure what that means.

I was gifted one some 30 years ago the old lady that gave it to me said it was her fathers from way back during WW2.But know I find Alpine stamped on it So the old lady lied to me I guess ! Oh well I still love getting it out to the range it’s still one of my favorites up until the day I lost it in a boating accident.DAMN

Love this rifle... I was amazed when rebils (NPA) use it to as, as first fire as signal.. love the sound of it... It's Peng! Peng ! Peng!! Peng!!! I got one now as my personal arm... Paratrooper version.. Love it...

I hv in my possession two canvas bags (dark green) with uncoated bright brass zipper and cant find any mfr or date but they ARE stamped US..Id like to place them on ebay but dont know what they are worth...Looks like one is in great used shape and the other was buggered up with a spot of paint that had been wiped off...Both are in good functioning condition..can you give me you opinion ...

Where can I buy this book

What was the highest serial number manufactured by "Inland MFG"?

Hello I have a manufactured Inland march 1945 with 12/44 dated barrel. The type 2 milled rear sight ha IH marked on right side. Is it original since it has IH ? Thanks

Inland receiver with 1944 serial number. type 3 sight but i dont see stake marks like in the video at 8:40. A little unclear as to whether they are expected or not.

My m1 carbine is 500k something serial number so is it legit ? The reciver isint welded or broken or anything

They have all this info on them but no serial number info is available

I once owned an M1 carbine manufactured by Winchester. It had the type 3 sloping ramp type rear sight and the type 2 receiver. It used the push through safety (Type I) which I sometimes missed and pushed the magazine release button. Annoying when I pushed the wrong button and heard the sound of the magazine hitting the ground. Interestingly the carbine had "Bavarian Rural Police" stamped into the left side of the receiver. I found an interesting web site that tells of the issuing of these after the war and before the founding of West Germany. How it found its way to Australia is anyone's guess. Due the the banning in ex-military self loading firearms in Australia, I had to surrender it to the police where it was subsequently destroyed. I was also employed as a Prison Office in New South Wales, Australia and in the late 1970's, the rifle of choice was the the M1, to be replaced by the Ruger Mini-14. WE had three M1s in our arsenal, 1 made by Winchester and two by Saginaw SG. I loved shooting it and am sorry it was destroyed.

So I have a reproduction m1 made in 1963 with ww2 war time parts it has Winchester sights and furniture inland Saginaw and general motors who ever they were back then all the markings can be traced to 1940s. What does that mean? The only thing not traceable is the barrel and bolt housing which has reproduction company markings on it

Hey I have a non marked m1 carbine. No stamping on anything except a serial number on the receiver and the U.S. CARBINE CAL .03 M1 . I checked everywhere on the gun, no stamping or markings visible to the eye. How would I find info on it?

I just picked up a 6 digit Inland marked S'G' on the side of the receiver with a 7-43 barrel (mentioned on page 344 of War Baby!). I am trying to correct it. It has a lot of late inland parts, but also has a Saginaw gas piston, Sag. flip sight, Sag. hammer, Sag. recoil plate. The stock, slide and trigger housing are later and not original to the gun. I am trying to figure out if I should use Inland parts or Saginaw parts to correct it. I have the Reisch book and could not find anything in there about it

Hi. I just found this vid. I wanted to ask about the rear sight with a duck mount. Not the flip sight. In the vid it shows a yellow picture of two sights. I am asking about the one on the left. My question is... The rear sight seems to have a lot of play. It may be about 1/8 of a inch, give or take. One person said to drill a hole on the base of the mount. Use a screw to adjust applying like a "pressure" point. I don't think so. The info reads "Huston TX USA" behind the rear sights if that helps. Is there any way to tighten/apply pressure to the sight so it won't have ....alot of "play"? I did think of going to a gun engraver. I believe that I may need certain tools to do the job correct. Yes it fires great. Good times, great grouping. Any ideas are helpful. Thank you.

I have my father’s 1943 Underwood, all original. Regarding the flip rear sights, the internet explains they are for 150 and 300 yards. But no where can I find which one is which, one is a small aperture and the other large. Can anyone help me out? Just want to know so I can better describe my dad’s M1 to friends and family.

How much do they cost

Wow I had this Iver Johnson all this time to find out it is a replica.

sending info to your email...thanks for your help..not seeing any dates or msnufacturer symbol...but heard that sm may still be authentic such as afew that were made in France for instance...Not sure what to look for to determine anything...your help is appreciated..

I have my dad 's M 1 carbine he got back in th 60's with the baronet with extra clips he bought off my uncle for $50.00

ilike M1 than M2 carbine. ihave my M1 and still on Tough condition

1943 IBM

Good video. Looks like I have an original Inland type II rear site. I picked it up back in the 90’s from a guy who served, non-combat. All markings match. I do have one question, on the mag release WA is stamped on it, then above it (larger letter) a W, I’ll assume bc of the of smaller WA. Anyone know about this marking? Also there is what looks like an incomplete circle with a P in side. This located on the butt stock (pistol grip) bottom area?

I've been designated to complete the dauntless task to complete research and obtain legal answers on behalf of my family.My father has been deceased for quite some time, complete a legal bundle purchase and registered the firearms in California in the late 60's 0r early 70's. To my recollection I have only witness three long guns, for my father was an avid outdoor hunter.I am trying to do research on how to obtain all register and unaccounted fire arms records of my late father.Also, I would like to find information how to legally transfer two remaining fire arms to be compliant with 2nd amendment right. Also, they are considered to be family heirlooms. Thank you for your time and consideration, for I will await clear and precise instructions. One of the firearms is MI Carbine

From what I ascertain from this video is that no one manufacturer made a complete M1 carbine 100%! At most maybe 35 out of the 55 or 65 parts. I wonder why this was the case?
