Yes, I have read the dating questions below. The LGS has a M1A1 with an 11-44 dated barrel the S/N is 6416064. I know that Inland made 13,200 M1A1's in Nov. 1944. My question is does the serial number fall into that time frame? Also is there a chart that gives S/N's dates by manufacturer, there is for Garand's?

Inland 6416064 would have been assembled in early to mid December 1944.

Thanks for the info. I know that Inland made 13,200 M1A1's in Dec. also. So it is even money this one is an original.
