Steve,
I have a '42 or '43 Inland. I'd have to check to make sure. I forgot (mind goes first) (I hope) had it for about 13 years, now.
Bought it for $150 and made it my truck gun. Now their worth so much $$ I'm considering not keeping it in the truck anylonger. Maybe start carrying the AK.
Not that accurate, 3"-4" group at 100 yards. But it has almost never jammed or mis-fired on me.
I have not done any 'smithin to it. It will feed hollow point, soft point and ball, equally. IMHO it has to do with the OAL of the cartridge, that and the feed ramps are real smooth. About the only thing I have done to it was put a urethane finish on it to protect the wood. It has a little more shine to it than I wanted but I'm not in combat with it so it does not really matter that much
to me.
It's a fun gun. Wife, daughter and son like it. It's small and little recoil. My son like the SAR 1. I think it's the "cool" factor for him, though.
On the accuracy I have noticed if I tighten the front barrel band to much that the groups go to the devil. Seems like if tighten it all the way down and then back it off 3 turns that it shoots a better group.
Just checked it. It's a 1943. sn 337xxxx
