Charlie,
I've got a copy of TM9-1276 although it is a newer version dated, Feb. 1953. Thanks for the description.

A bolt takedown / reassembly tool would be the most needed . IMHO .

Do not futz around with the gas piston nut. If the piston is stuck, do as Charlie said - shoot it. Do not put any oil in the gas piston area. When cleaning the barrel, turn it upside down to keep oil out of the gas port. Oil carbonizes in the gas area and will block the gas port and freeze the piston.
I'm thinking many late stocks did not get an Ordnance stamp. I think your stock is original. Does the stock have a relief for a missing selector switch on the forward LH side of the receiver? Is it a 'pot-belly' stock (curved with extra thickness under the hand guard)? I might be incorrect about the late stocks/cartouches, but for some reason it popped up when reading your post.
Very lightly struck

So much for that idea. Looks just like the early cartouche.
