Has anyone seen the differences and markings to tell a new mks M1 carbine inland copy from the orginal Inland M1 carbine
The Mks M1 carbine has a marking under the stock and on the barrel but I have not heard what that markings are?

From the description it sounds as though all parts and stocks are stamped as originals. Company marks the inside of the stock and underneath side of barrlel to tell the difference from original. There will be alot of newbies that wont see the marks and will never know the difference

This from there website

The new Inland M1 Carbine has been manufactured with attention to detail for historic accuracy. However, there is one area that we failed to meet in regards to historic accuracy, and that is the “Accuracy”. The new Inland M1 Carbine is substantially more accurate than the originals due to the design and construction of the new carbine. Most new Inland M1 Carbines will deliver under 2” groups at 100 yards and it is not unusual to achieve sub MOA accuracy! In addition to the accuracy, you will also have a 1 year warranty with the new Inland M1 Carbine.




Sub MOA


Not intrested in the rifle at this point just wanting to know what and were those two markings are at one is on the barrel and one under the stock, but some reviews don't say if you have to take off the stock to see the mark on the barrel?

2" at 100yds isn't Sub MOA as MOA = 1" at 100yds so you're right to call BS.  However, I have a pristine '43 NPM GI I got over 40 yrs ago with an original Marlin barrel that gauges at 1 muzzle and 1.5 chamber and produces under 4" groups at 100yds, about normal for a GI M1 Carbine.  As it's now too valuable to shoot, I picked up a new AO M1 Carbine to shoot because I didn't care if I shot it out as it's a commercial reproduction.  To my surprise, it groups at 2" at 100yds, the same as Inland claims for their version.

The new rifles have their own serial number range, the receiver is marked INLAND MFG (MANUFACTURING) instead of INLAND DIV., the barrels have DAYTON, OHIO stamped on them, and the stocks have a different profile than the originals.  If anyone, even a newbie, mistakes these for a USGI model, they are a complete idiot and didn't even do basic research.  Not to mention these will be in brand new condition.

Fulton armory claims 3 MOA on there builds. 2 MOA is excellent for any carbine under that would be pretty amazing to see.

This is what I emailed Inland Manufacturing,earlier in the week They were nice and email me back very quickly with the answer. I am neither for or against this carbine.



My email question

Hi
I am interested in your M1 carbine but have a some questions. Have these shipped to distributors or dealers? Do you have any pictures or details of the markings that make this rifle yours? The reviews say a mark on the barrel and on the stock? Can you clarify the location and if you have to remove stock to see both?
Thanks

Inland Manufacturing email answer

Our unique markings consist of serialization starting at 9,000,000 and the barrel marks are Inland, Mfg, Dayton, Ohio instead of the standard original marking of Inland Div, General Motors.

They are shipping to distributors and dealers now.

Thank you for your interest in Inland Mfg.!

I don't remember and haven't studied the matter enough to tell you.  I saw some guys on another board crying about it.  Just taking a quick look at some images on Google, it looks like the wrist is thinner and the hump just aft of the wrist is a little higher than a standard USGI stock.  It might slope down a bit harder, making the hump look taller.  It looks more like a Auto-Ordnance stock than a USGI one to me.

I have a real Inland mfg. carbine with USGI barrel that I got from the CMP.

It will shoot 4-5 MOA all day long.

I have found my USGI carbine to shoot 4-5 MOA also.  I never got 2 MOA.  That would be cool.


One thing I really don't like about the carbine is the pistol grip is so long and far from the trigger.  I have about average sized hands, fingers longer than some but shorter than others and for me it feels really awkward.  I don't know why they didn't copy a Garand on that one.  The Garand is plenty comfy.  So.... if these stocks have fixed that part, I'd say it's an improvement over the original.

This new rifle is a very poor reproduction of the original Inland.

Cast receivers.
Handguard holes drilled incorrect.
Receiver marked MFG and original marked DIV
Buttstock cut and tapered incorrectly.
Hanguard reported cut incorrectly on some obstructing sights.

The rifle is high priced for what it is.

I dont know about 2" at 100yds, but I can say that I can identify one at 50 feet away as a reproduction without my glasses. The stock is that bad.

None of those things matter except to people that want to nitpick shit to death.  Well, except the price.  I also think they are over-priced.  But the market will determine at what price they settle down.  I would definitely buy one in the $700 range.  If I had the extra cash just burning in my pocket, I might do $800.  $900 plus and I am waiting it out.

Nice set up, pics, and background.  Slam dunk  Well, you lose some points for the small mag.  LOL.  What kind of mag is that?  And does it work?  I'm assuming it's a 10 rounder?

FOR SHAME!!  Ruining USGI mags.    I'm joking.  I realize you wouldn't do it if it wasn't necessary.  I just wasn't sure if anybody made 10 rounders.  Or if they were any good.  Looks like an excellent job though.  

I thought I remember seeing some (10 rounders) from Kahr / Auto Ordnance at one time or another.  But I'm not completely sure about that.
