Inland Handguard Question

I've got an otherwise unmolested Inland 800000 range 10/43brl, but Handguard is "TN" marked,,,, did they ever send HGs to Inland ?

Thanks!

I don't know of any supplied by Trimble.

Inlands finished hand guards were supplied by Hillerich (HI) and Overton (OI).

In July 1943, Inland received 1000 hand guards from National Postal meter. The main supplier to NPM at that time was Trimble. 1000 stocks also went at the same time and they would have also been made by Trimble. The time frame is not quite right as your carbine was made a bit later but the hand guard could have been in the bottom of the bin till yours was made.

Thanks! Attachment 33564
