It's just a normal M2 potbelly replacement stock. Some are marked. Some aren't.

So some of the M2 stocks were not marked by the manufacturer.
What about rebuild marks? I understand that if the carbines were rebuilt in a US facility, they were marked as such. Would the lack of rebuild marks indicate this one was rebuilt in a foreign country?

Right, but stocks replaced at smaller unit level workshops wouldn't, AFAIK.

Interesting carbine, as an early import compared to late. Tough to tell from the pics, but is it original finish on the metal? All Inland parts?

Those are US issue parts.

Appears to be refinished to me, which would be expected.

Could be. I think this one and the Underwood both with through at least one arsenal/depot rebuild at some point. I still wonder if this one would have been rebuilt (with US supplied parts) overseas prior to import.
