I am honestly not a fan of using the Inland name, calling it a faithful reproduction, and then butchering the the stock, using cast parts, and applying crappy looking receiver and barrel markings. In this day in age, I can't believe that it is very difficult to accurately reproduce stock contours and engraving fonts. If you're going to reproduce something, do it accurately and make the serial number obvious so as not to be confused with a USGI piece. It's also a little tacky that they have no affiliation with the Inland Division of General Motors, have not purchased any rights, and are using the Inland logo by simply changing the name to Inland Manufacturing. I did, however, get a laugh seeing a Henry Ford quote on every page of their website.

Not sure why anyone would pay over $1000 for something like this when a nice USGI carbine could be found for $800 or less.
