If “6091” is the serial number, it’s going to be an Inland Division manufactured rifle, according to the website,
manufactured between 5/1942- 9/1943.

This rifle has the 2nd model micrometric machined adjustable sight, milled construction.

“Originally it was planned to equip the USM1 with a firing selector (semi-auto, full-auto). In a goal of simplification the first models were deprived of it (1941-44). The selector was introduced at the end of 1944.”
This rifle has that selector switch which this is referring to. The 2nd model type II
Refer to above mentioned linked website.

I have one magazine and 60 rounds of ammo for it.
Only trades I’ll look at are Glock 9mm and cash on top.
Cash is king.

I am pretty sure you have a National Ordnance carbine. The color, handguard, buttstock cap and stampings point to that. USGI carbines have a certain parked color and have the manufacturer stamping under the rear sight. That receiver looks cast - not forged. The side blades on the front sight are solid.
National was located in South Elmonte, CA.
