For reasons unexplained, I found myself sitting at my workbench this evening detail stripping my M-1 Carbine. So as I took down the sub groups and wiped off each part I was struck by the number of manufacturers whose parts make up my Inland. All the parts I would need to replace are easy ones (Skill wise not money wise). The Barrel and receiver are obviously Inland, the rest of the rifle is a mix with some inland mixed in. So I got to thinking that maybe I should make a list of all the Non-Inland parts on the gun, and over time start picking up the correct parts and eventually have an all Inland rifle. After I logged on tonight I did a quick search and have come to the realization that this will be a long and expensive process. I'm looking at more then doubling what I have into this rifle, and not gaining any performance. So I was just curious what you guys on NES thought. If it was your rifle would you do it, and why?
ETA: I refer to this as making the rifle Semi-Matching, because the parts do not come from one rifle. Hence calling it all matching would be misleading IMNSHO.
