Does anyone have a video that shows how to disassemble, Oil, and clean a Ingram M6? I have one coming in and don't want to screw anything up. Thanks

Hi Ingram shooters and collectors. Can you please let me know what you think about this Model 6 SMG. Any comments would be appreciated. This will be my 2nd M6. The serial number on this one is in the 200s. Thank you to all of you for your help and educating me on the Ingram M6.

Wow today I shot my M6 with my wife and a good friend. Amazing SMG. It is so accurate, and built so well. What a pleasure and a ton of fun! I love my M6. I go up our mountain to a meadow and just shoot. This really is a fantastic Submachine Gun. 5 full Mags and no jams! Thanks everyone for all your help.

Hi All, Just some information that I've learned about the Ingram Model 6. It seems there were at least 2 extractor designs on this firearm. In the attached photo, the one that looks more like a pork chop (bottom of the picture) appears to be an early design. I've found these on the S/N range 15X guns. I don't know when the second design began but a it can be seen in the top of the attached photo. Anyone have an idea when the change happened? In the M6 exploded diagram in the M6 sticky post, it appears to have the later extractor. Just something to think about when you are searching for parts. Enjoy, Grasshopper

Hi All, I finally got my Ingram Model 6 to the range today. In short, I was very impressed. I spent some time with 15 year old handloads of lead 200gr SWC over 5.5 gr. WW-231, factory 230 ball, and whatever else was lying around the reloading room. Every time the bolt closed it ran just fine. Not bad for a gun that has been lying in pieces for many years. (Another story.) I did have a bit of trouble with the semi-auto trigger resetting at times. I had changed the sear spring and trigger spring earlier as I thought the wrong parts were assembled in the gun. Turns out the "borowed" trigger guard was stopping the trigger from moving correctly. Funny about the ejection on the gun. The extractor is on the top but the ejector is a bit to the left of center. It throws brass high over the right shoulder of a right handed shooter. It will be fun to drop it on the head of the range officer in the next match The magazines loaded very easily and ran empty every time w/o a problem. I can trace the ownership of the gun back to Gainsville Florida. It is in park finish now as the pitting on the gun makes it look like it was left in the wet trunk of a car. Just out of curiousity, I think this gun may have been offered in 9mm. Has anyone seen a bolt for 9mm? The bolt is an interesting assembly that has some interesting low-tech machine work. More like what I would do at home. You can guess where this is going. The bolt weight would make a dandy 9mm running about the same speed as a Swedish K. All in all a nice little gun that I'll be spending more time with at the range. Enjoy, Grasshopper
