They are a hoot to shoot. Just remember they are carbines, not battle or sniper rifles.
I especially like getting around some younger guys while shooting. Most have never fired an M1 carbine or Garand. It never fails to put a smile on their face. And if you are familiar with the Garand, you can always spank them in a contest, unless they are real familiar with their peashooter.

There used to be a site that could give info on serial numbers, or range of numbers as to where they were shipped and what units received them, but the database was sold, went private and charges big money now with no results guaranteed.
If you closely inspect the gun and stock, you might see the arsenal marks where it went through rework, and may get a date range when it happened.
I have a Ga gun, was reworked at the Augusta Arsenal after WW2.
It is hard to say with additional pics, but that rear sight is possibly original by that serial number. Would need to see what markings are on the stock and all of the other parts. Underwood supplied barrels to a lot of the other manufacturers, but I don't remember off the top of my head if they supplied any to Inland
