Inland: New T30 Carbine with M82 Vintage Sniper Scope

 (Photo: Inland)
 

The End Of A Republic  

From Inland Manufacturing, the maker of truly “authentic” M1 Carbines, comes Inland’s T30, reviving and reintroducing the historically significant predecessor to the M3 sniper version of the M1 Carbine of WWII, Korea and Vietnam fame.

This new Inland T30 Carbine is very similar to the T3 Carbine of WWII. It comes fitted with a period-correct Redfield-style scope base welded to the receiver like the original. The purchaser can have it with or without the 2.5-power M82 sniper scope. The M82 scope is manufactured by Hilux and is a 7/8-inch diameter telescopic sight with post/horizontal hair reticle that replicates the rugged Lyman Alaskan scope adopted by the military during WWII.

  1. Cool. The .30 carbine is a great walk-about field gun. Light, short, virtually no recoil and report isn't bad. Throws the empties next to you. Reloaders love this characteristic - throwing cases into thorny brush or cactus patch.

    My wife and daughter love to shoot the lil' M1. I just wish ammunition for it was less expensive.

  2. The M1 was a fine military rifle. The M1 Carbine provided more fire power than a 45 pistol but was vastly inferior to the M1. IMO putting a scope on an M1 Carbine is wasting a good scope.

    1. Frankly, I didn't know there was anything other than the M1 and M2 until I read this today.

  3. Look up the you tube video's on "Inland Manufacturing" The weapons are pure crap cheap reproductions that don't work "out of the box" and cannot be made to work. Don't waste your money on a reproduction that sells for 500USD MORE than a mint original M1 and won't work.---Ray

    1. Thanks and it would be interesting to retrieve my weapons from the well after all these years to see what is left.
