Is it normal for the rear sight to need to be run as far over to the right as it is?

2. Although the stock is in mint condition, it seems that it was modified from its original design. Why is that?
In 2013, a brand-new, privately owned gun manufacturing company was organized under the name of Inland Mfg., LLC. Although this company has no formal ties to General Motors, it established its headquarters just a few miles away from where the original Inland Division once stood.
Inland Manufacturing's plan is to launch a line of American-made firearms composed of 100 percent U.S.- made parts. It should come as no surprise, considering the company's name and location, that the first two rifle models off the production line are replicas of the M1 Carbine, including what the company calls a 1945 version of the fixed-stock M1 Carbine and the folding-stock M1A1 Paratrooper model

[SIZE=4 said:ApacheCoTodd [/SIZE]]Yours would be valued down from a *as-issued* Inland with reductions for the stock, sling swivel and anything else required to turn in back to *as-issued* Though I can't see the full serial number, if one assumes it was NOT re-barrellled in '44,
The Inland M1 Carbine is manufactured using new steel components and stocks that meet GI specifications. This means the parts are interchangeable with WWII-era carbines. However, a few of the non-essential accessories, such as the oiler, are military surplus items.

In 1941, with the US being pulled into one of the greatest conflicts in world history, a division of General Motors was tasked to support the war effort.
The result was firearm history with Inland Manufacturing becoming one of the largest gun manufacturers in the US, producing nearly 3 million firearms in less than 5 years.
The most notable of Inland’s firearm production was the .30 Caliber M1 carbine and the folding stock variant, the M1A1 Paratrooper model.
Dayton, Ohio was home for the original Inland company, and is now the home of the new Inland Manufacturing located just two miles from the original facility. Today’s Inland Manufacturing is now producing a new line of .30 caliber M1 carbines and 1911 style pistols.

I think you meant 1945, but point taken nevertheless.Since VJ Day was 15 Aug 44,

Ive owned 5 Carbines with the upgraded rear sight, and every one of them had the rear sight knocked out of its original staking for some reason. Im suspecting that people didnt like the outer edges of the sight not centered and moved them.Is it normal for the rear sight to need to be run as far over to the right as it is?
I always find it fascinating when people want to claim that their US WWII milsurp is "all matching numbers."
One of the under-sung "victories" of the US in WWII was the fact that we produced so many weapons, held to such uniform standards of parts manufacture, that those parts did not need to be serialized to a specific assembled arm. That US military services could have cleaning parties where an entire Platoon or Company's arms could be taken down to bits and cleaned in tubs, and put back together by random selection of parts, and still have serviceable firearms.
The great "failure" of the Reising and Johnson arms was that they did not meet that standard; they needed serialized parts (and did not have them).
This was not true, per se, for the militaries of the rest of the world, the UK Commonwealth nations being a notable exception.
And, of course, 75 years later, we expect all AR parts to be perfectly interchangable.
Agreed. Most US weapons used Manufacturer codes or part numbers.I always find it fascinating when people want to claim that their US WWII milsurp is "all matching numbers."
