Hello Aschaefer,
Your NPM has a 'U' stamped on the bevel below the serial number doesn't it? I noticed in your photo that there's a comma stamped on the front ring between the .30 and the M1. That means your NPM receiver was made by Union Switch & Signal and US&S only made 48,000 of them for NPM.
Any time you see a carbine for sale that has a comma on the front ring, buy it! That means it's either a NPM 'U' or an UN-QUALITY.

Very good eye for the details!
You are absolutely right Dave, it has a 'U' on the bevel. That was one of the reasons I bought this NPM.
