    Having messed around with these a fair bit over the years, what I see looks just fine as far the metal work is concerned. You have a typical post war mix and match refurb that looks to be in good condition with just finish wear.

    Yours is equipped with the milled adjustable rear sight and late production barrel band with bayonet lug. Both of these are best for a "Shooter Carbine".

    The only major issue is that stock. Its structural integrity has been compromised to the point where all the glue and pins in the world won't save it. For a decent shooter, the stock needs to be solid and free of cracks from the recoil lug forward to the barrel band saddle. If it shoots really well with that stock, then take it as a sign and buy a lottery ticket...

    Stocks are hard to come by, but I think I may have a temporary solution until you can find a GI stock. I know a guy with a stock duplicator, and he produces a semi finished product that shouldn't take too much work to finish. I'm in Edmonton myself, so Just shoot me a PM, and I could include my email address etc. and we could go from there.
