Your carbine went through an arsenal.
Not sure about the type3 barrel band, it is around transition period.
Flip safety is not correct, arsenal replacement.
N9 trigger housing is not correct.
Bottom of grip is RA-P for Raritan Arsenal.

According to Riesch's book, Type III barrel bands were not used until serial number 6,300,000. Ruth's book states late '44 and in the 6 Mil range for usage.

"OI" don't look right on handgaurd.

The ten look on the HG is ok. Just not as common. About a quarter of them look that way.

Gentleman, thank you for the information. Does anyone know who made the trigger group and if the mag pouch is correct. thanks Larry

Is the mag pouch green? The KADIN 1943 is correct but,it is not a stock pouch. It connects to the ammo belt via a snap on the back. Cover the snap with electrical tape as not to scratch the stock. Later versions had 2 straps on the back.

The trigger housing was made by National Postal Meter.

Early trigger housing= Good trading material.
