We need more information to be sure. Like, high or low wood stock & cartouches, wood sanded or original finish, condition of bore & muzzle, type rear sight, maker of other parts, etc.

An all-original Inland will sell in the $800-1,000 range. If some parts have been altered or replaced, it would sell in the $600-800 range.

Thanks for the help. The rifling is clean and sharp. Stock is in original finish, just a few tiny dents or nicks. 'P' on bottom of grip, IO and flaming bomb in sling slot, crossed cannons on right side. Flip sight.

Muzzle wear is determined using a Muzzle Wear gauge. A substitute can be made using a single round of USGI M2 ammo (cal .30-06) inserted point first in the muzzle, & measuring how much of the copper jacket shows.

Your stock was originally high wood; many stocks were altered to low wood because the horizontal part of the op rod could bind on the stock. On the right side of your carbine there is a notch in the handguard over the op rod; is there a corresponding notch in the stock, or is the stock straight in that area?
