gun shop said a guy had just traded it in. his father brought it back from ww2 and sat in a safe...it was passed to him and sat in a safe. so he decided to let it go to someone who appreciated it. its a 1945 Inland WW2 Carbine. i picked it up for only $550 and included 3 mags and 80 rounds of WCC (western cartridge company) 1943 ammo and 80 rounds LC (Lake City)1953 ammo
i did the best with net research and ill take pics if folks want of specific parts if it perks anyone's curiosity. the stock is great except for 1 scratch (i may look at match dyeing that) and wood chipped by the recoil plate. otherwise a very beautiful gun.
