Seen at a gun show

Walked by this, stopped and backed up. Pull the note on the lower right. Sales tag on the lower edge at the bottom says Inland Mfg but the note says it was built with Hi Standard parts

Holy guacamole ! $1498 bucks for that?

Did the guy sell it?

These were interesting PDW type firearms, which may fill a collectors slot…

Looks like new production Inland:

Not to me but I found the thing interesting especially if the history as stated was correct. I didn't ask to pick it up but the wood was in great condition. I'm not a relic person, but I can appreciate it.
Hi Standard for the CIA ? Interesting

Looks a lot...not exactly ...but a lot like the new production Inland "Advisor Pistol."
Especially with that scope rail.

I remember reading something a long while ago about the CIA contract Carbines.
However I don't remember any details.
In any event...the firearm pictured.....sure looks pristine for something that is supposedly from the 1960's or so.......

I'm not a relic person,

Well, I wouldn't say anything from the 60's is a 'relic' but it sure seems to have an 80's or later 'appearance' to it just by looking at the wood, the metal parts etc. but then I don't know anything about this particular gun so I am just speculating is all.

I'd think someone trying to portray it's history (and sell it for that amount) would print something up a little more legible and professional than a handwritten note in Sharpie taped onto the box but hey, such are some of these gun show table types.

looks like an S&K scope mount.

Could be. Didn't pick it up, didn't talk to the guy, but had never seen anything like it B4. Not exactly a pocket pistol. Not a very pretty item either. I had never seen anything like it but just taking the guys word for it's history. Just thought others might recognize it or know more than I about it.

Prolly includes a free "historical" beanie-baby and "vintage" beef jerky with purchase......

Yah, as a pistol seems retarded.

As a SBR with a folding stock/ partial cut down stock? Would make for a useful tool, esp for some of the roles mentioned.

Thanks for finding that. Obviously the one I saw was not 50 years old, but a semi reproduction from parts.

Interesting, High Standard was not involved in making M1 Carbines so I'm not sure what parts from HS would have been used. They did submit a sample in 1940 to the War Dept. along with 25 other companies but were not selected. There were 3 known samples that survived but 1 was select fire and subsequently destroyed by the BATF. A friend owns 1 of the last 2. They were pretty much 100% focused on making .50 caliber barrels during the war. They had a presence in the .22LR training gun dept. during the war with the USA HD. Subsequently they used that platform to make the HD-MS (suppressed model) for the OSS. They also built barrels for the O3 and 1911. There are rumors that HS did build some additional HD-MS guns for the CIA post name change from the OSS but the records don't support that. I suspect that if it did happen they used surplus guns from the gov. that were returned to HS and retrofitted then re-shipped which would not show a presence in the records. I would need a lot more information about this piece to be able to research it and say they did or didn't.

I saw it at a recent gun show in New Braunfels TX. Did not speak with the vendor, nor did I pick it up to look at it further. Next GS here isn't until June 14th. Texas is chock full of gun shows in the summer

Up the road and around the corner (typical Texas directions)

 

[Unka-Boo]

Fantasy piece....search "Enforcer" pistols, Iver Johnson and Universal made them in the '70s, IIRC...total aftermarket creation.

lol, yeah that's what he said about New Braunfels when I asked him this morning!

 

[VinnieBoomBah]

Didn't pick it up,

Yeah, I would not want my fingerprints on that either!
