M1 Carbine buying advice ( What do you guy's think )
I am inexperinced as to some of the terms which sellers state, and would like your input as you guys are good at this.
Bavarian rural police M1 Carbine - Winchester S/N 1,239,567 receiver and Winchester barrel.
Slide type 4/ W with last 4 S/N on arm - bolt flat type 2 W on lug with last 4/ SN. Trigger - type 3 marked U has last 4 S/N - hand guard with a W on underside. Inland stock type 2 cut down CC cartouche on right side - AAF on left side of stock, IO in sling well - type 3 rear sight - Barrel band type 3 , marked KI - front sight/ type 2 marked P.
Solder on rear of receiver when changed from V sight to sliding type 3 .
PS: I wanted the post war rebuild updates.
Also a different Bavarian Winchester S/N 5,733,737 - barrel has letter W and a small a p & w incased in a circle. Stock only marked in the sling well with last 4 of rifles S/N numbers and LGKK 0543 Bavarian #, no other markings on the stock, also has solder on the heel of the receiver. This one sounds like the receiver, barrel and stock is original, also ME is a 2. What is your idea on this one?
I would like your input on these two M1 Carbines, especially the first one - I think the price is good on both. As you guys are much more knowledgeable than I , even when I am looking at my two reference books.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Solder on heel of receiver
The solder on the receiver came from when the Germans put on V sights, and then the Austria armors took them off and put the type 3 Irco 160060 sliding sights on.
