"War Baby Comes Home", he points out that as many as 32,000 IP marked receivers may have survived. And he further states that IP are far from being the rarest carbines.

I've looked in my copy of War Baby! for the reference to the 50,000 IP receivers I thought I saw mentioned there but couldn't find it. I own about every major M1Carbine reference book printed, just my luck I may have seen it in Harrison's I'll have to look through War Baby Comes Home next to find that 32,000 figure you mentioned, Dave but in any case I believe whatever number of IP receiver carbines were accepted by the US government are included in the total of 223,620 that S'G' was credited with having produced.
