Inland Manufacturing

What Inland Manufacturing does

Inland Manufacturing, LLC is a privately held, family-owned firearms manufacturer founded in 2014 and headquartered in Dayton, Ohio, two miles from the original World War II-era Inland Manufacturing Division of General Motors facility. The company produces historically accurate reproductions of WWII-era firearms — primarily the M1 carbine family (M1 1944, M1 1945, M1 Jungle, M1 Scout, M1A1 Paratrooper, T30), 1911-pattern pistols (1911 A1 Government, 1911 Custom Carry), the M30 series (M30-P, M30-IMP, M30-C), the Liberator 45 derringer, and jointly manufactured shotguns (M37 Trench, Stakeout II) — alongside a suppressor line (I-Can, I-Can II, IM Centerfire, AM-22, PM-22) and accessories including dB Foam, the Inland-Skinner M1 Sight, magazines, parts, optics, and apparel.

The company's core technology combines modern CNC machining with deliberate reproduction of original 1940s manufacturing steps to deliver components that are both historically authentic (including cartouche marks and stampings) and precisely toleranced. Proprietary elements include the I-Core polymer monolithic disposable baffle system for the PM-22, the dB Foam suppressor enhancement providing 3–5 dB typical and 10+ dB first-shot reductions, and integration of Sage International EBR stocks on the M30 series. The firearm portfolio is supplemented by a full aftermarket parts catalog supporting USGI interchangeability for M1 carbines and 1911 pistols.

Inland operates a dual-channel go-to-market: MKS Supply acts as exclusive US wholesale distributor to dealers and wholesalers, while the Inland Depot e-commerce storefront handles direct-to-consumer sales, with firearms shipped through local FFL holders per federal law. Products carry MSRPs from $189 (PM-22 suppressor) to $1,729 (M30-P pistol). The company reaches end customers through SHOT Show participation, Facebook and YouTube channels, an NRA member VIP pricing program, and 1st Infantry Division veteran/active-duty commemorative editions. Sales are restricted in eight US states/jurisdictions (California, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Washington D.C., Hawaii), and international inquiries are routed through a dedicated contact.
