I have an Alpine M1 carbine with the cheese grater handguard. I would like to get the Ultimak rail for optics, but I have to choose between the GI patterned handguard, Inland patterned, or auto ordnance pattern.
Which should I go with? Thanks in advance.  Attached File |

Not familiar w/ Alpine, but if it's an older carbine that is GI dimensionally compatible, go w/ the GI dimension one.
http://www.m1carbinesinc.com/carbine_alpine.html Looks like the GI one should fit. |

USGI pattern. You might have to ream out the stock where the clamps sit depending on what style stock Alpine used. I recently mounted this same rail on a Howa based M-1 Carbine and so far like it
 This is it in a folding Choate stock. I'll post a pic of it in the wood stock later after I eat for you to see what your in for  Here's it in it's wood stock

Thanks everyone, just ordered it.
I was leaning to USGI but wanted confirmation before ordering. |

The A/O and "New" Inland (not the USGI WWII ones) use stocks that are a 1/4 inch shorter in the hand guard than USGI or other commercial Carbines, that's why there are 3 versions offered |

Sounds like Alpine, in common w/ a lot of makers, used turned down Springfield 1903 surplus bbls. You'll have to cut on it a little.

They did, there's a section under the National Ordnance Carbines that covers 03 Springfield barrels http://www.m1carbinesinc.com/carbine_natord.html |
