I would say it'd make a great little plinker but that .30 carbine ammo is getting pricey lol
Really cool rifle, brother
What markings are on the receiver. Look behind/underneath the rear sight. That will let you know if it's a usgi refurb or a commercial receiver built with usgi parts

The 30 carbine is a whole lot of fun to shoot. Enjoy it and have fun shooting it.
Definitely a commercial stock, and as stated a weird mix of old and new.
One with the rotary safety, round bolt and upgraded rear sight should have the bayonet lug.
If it is a good shooter, then $700 as Kyle stated.

Can't say about the originality of the safety, front band, and rear sight without knowing the manufacturer and serial number as these were phased in in later production, they may be correct. The stock looks like it could have been USGI and someone fitted an extension to replace the oiler slot and extend the length to a more rifle length. Doesn't really matter at this point as it has been blued and the bolt has been polished, and the stock refinished. Someone sporterized it into a nice handy little rifle.
Yes, they were not originally blued.
