I think I saw in a magazine Inland makes M1 carbines now. My grandfather carried one all over Japan during Korea.
Kind of a crazy thing about the carbines is there is no such thing as a matching rifle. New issued rifles were hodge podge combo of parts from different companies. There were companies were reimporting them from Korea in the early 90's for cheap, I have read quality was all over the place.
I have ran about 100rds though my first AR so far in between monsoon season and spring field work, it is a sweetheart of a rifle.
