    The slide was altered for the target sights, but the slide isn't original to the frame anyway. You could correct the gun, but it will probably cost more than the gun will be worth in the end.

    RLB cartouche is too early for a 3.3mil Remington 1903. My 3.2mil Remington has an unboxed FJA with reenforcing pins rather than bolts.

    Carbines are still legal here in California, but not in the paratrooper stock. That would make it an assault weapon.

    What is the serial number range? With no Government inspection markings, I'm guessing it's a later gun in the 40k serial number range, which would be correct.

    The OP's carbine definetly went through rebuild and it looks like a previous owner tried to correct it by adding some W coded parts. Enjoy it for what it is.

    I didn't look at all your photos, but I see some mixed parts, so your carbine probably went through a rebuild or had parts changed during maintenance. The stock was most likely replaced with one that...

    Sounds like the guy with a business called SOG. He sets up at the Southern Calif. shows with a lot of questionable USGI rifles and pistols at very high prices.

    I think my point was missed. Your carbine looks like an un-messed with, fresh from re-build carbine. These nice re-builds are becoming more collectable. By replacing current parts with correct...

    Just my opinion, but I think you should leave that carbine alone. It looks like a nice, early post WWII re-build that has probably not been messed with. It looks to have been refinished during...
