I did find rebuild markings on the carbine. It has an MR (Mount Rainier Ordinance Depot, Fort Lewis, WA) stamped on the left side just in front of the sling cutout. Also in the cutout are the markings LA for Inland as the prime contractor and S.E. Overton South Haven, MI as the manufacture. Also noted that as seen in a prior post the receiver has a comma as shown "U.S. carbine cal. .30,M1". Other people have stated that is not normal but this one also has it quite clearly. Sorry, I cannot figure out how to post pictures again. I have more but don't know how to insert them.
