It seems that Inland has risen from the dead and is going to bring us new commercial production near mil-spec M1 Carbines. (There are some minor differences so that they can’t be mistaken for the “real” WWII era item.) Given the $1000 price point and the fact that they are coming from MKS Supply, home of the Hi-Point, you’ve got to wonder a bit about the ratio of quality per dollar.
I think I’ll keep an eye open for some reviews and a stocking dealer before I get too enthused about this development.
