Recently picked up an M1 Carbine (Inland).
Barrel was dated 3-44 (Inland - General Motors)
Receiver is 5,50x,xxx. Based on this information that I found, the receiver seems to have been made in late summer 44, maybe July/August.
4,879,526 - 5,549,820 (Jan. 1944 - Aug. 1944)
Would this likely be the original barrel and receiver being potentially 6 months apart?, I wouldn't have assumed that much elapsed time I guess.
Thanks
