Very nice Matt.....I stopped at a yard sale a few years ago, asked if they had any military weapons. They didn't. But, the neighbor did. He brought out a beautiful Inland M1a1, first one (and only) that I have ever held. I was in love with it right away. Unfortunately it was his dad's and he wouldn't part with it. Still remember it, you're lucky to have such a fine example! Chris...

I know this is an old thread but I just have to say that is a wonderful carbine and I am quite envious. I am still looking for a deactivated example myself but they do not turn up very often in the UK.

Des,

They are not easy to find here in the US either! You can ask Ronny Fry to verify, but I spent over 5 years searching for this one! There are many fakes out there, so be careful. You have to really do your research on them first. After 5 years of research and searching, I was lucky to locate this one. But it certainly didn't happen overnight.

Thanks guys for all your comments! I'm in love with this one too! It's a keeper!
