Not 100% I’m posting this is the right place but I am seeking a professional on M1 carbines that can provide some insight to what I have. I’ve searched online with to no prevail.

I do know that it was made be General Motors and Inland - stamped on the barrel.

Looks like an early one. No pic of the roll mark on the heel of the receiver?

What is that white line on the base of the grip? Something added to the stock? It looks to have been sanded at some point.

Gonna Need all the 2 and 3 letter codes off all the parts...
What are the letters stamped in the slingwell indentation on the stock.???
Also the inside edge of the handguard wood.
What is the receiver serial # and the date on the barrel
Probably need to buy the book on M1 Carbines by Craig Riesch... cheapest decent alternative to understand all that you Gotta look for all the data and how complicated it is to understand what you have ...

I don't know if you have looked at these two websites during your searches but I have found them to be very informative, once you figure out the navigation:

US CARBINE CAL 30M1.com

The U.S. Caliber .30 Carbines - Model T3

If that's an "I" cut early Winchester stock and it's been sanded I'm going to be sick. And it ain't even my carbine.

Even if it's an early Inland I cut stock, still......

Inland was a division of General Motors. Does it say Inland on both the barrel and the receiver? What is the barrel Date? Does it have an import mark stamped on the gun anywhere? Is there a stamp in the wood in the rear sling cut out and if so what are the letters? To me it looks like non molested early gun that is somewhat beat up.

IDK, that white disk attached to the bottom of the grip is a concern.

It’s a metal plate with initials on it, I assume the owner who carried it. I will get more, better pictures tomorrow.

The sad part is the SN on top has been removed, I inherited this and many other firearms that have been locked away for 30+ years.
