Its a rebuild. 2nd Production run on Inland Paratrooper Carbines - Serial # 5,150,000 thru 6,700,000Comment

I like it. The fakers haven't used rebuild marks - yet - in my experience.
Seems a little pricey to me however. Maybe that's the market now."Socialism is the Philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." ~Winston ChurchillComment

Looks like an honest gun. Could it be cheaper? Sure. You aren't paying too much, just too early. Buy now and it will be worth more before you know it. Nice looking M1A1."There's a race of men that don't fit in,
A race that can't stay still;
So they break the hearts of kith and kin,
And they roam the world at will." - Robert ServiceComment

How is the type 2 band marked it does not look right to me. Price is high!Comment

Thank you for all of your opinions.Comment

It's a type 3 band on it that was put on when the carbine was rebuilt. But the safety has been changed again back to a type 3. It would have been changed to a type 4 during the rebuild at Augusta Armory. Price on it is high and I would think it should be no more then $3000 as it is a rebuild. But it is what it is and they have been just climbing in the price of them.Comment

My two cents worth - $2800 to $3000 would be a fair price for a rebuild.Comment

did inland actually make 1,550,000 'A1s in that second run or was that just the range that they came out of? seems like an awful lot of them considering there were only 5 airborne units (total) during WWII but the 11th, 13th and 17th didnt have the combat exposure that the 82nd and 101st did...
NORMAL divisions were 12,000-15,000 troops so even if all 5 were fully equipped at the large end of numbers with M1A1s the 2nd run (if every serial was assigned) would be double the number needed...Comment
