I have a buddy at work who has an Inland M1 Carbine I want to buy.

It's stamped

On Barrel:
Inland Div
General Motors
4-48

Behind front sight:
N

Behind rear sight:
Inland
X83

The serial number says it's X83, seems kinda low?
Looks in great shape.
I hope to pick it up for a few hundred $$$.
What info can you all give me about this.
I didn't see any other numbers anywhere else on the rifle.

Thanks all,
Kyle
