Welcome to the site. I sure would like to see the insides of this carbine. Looks genuine to me. I would leave it as is.

Thanks Bill! I am new to the carbine. I am getting conflicting info on the slide. I have only had it apart once. Owner told me it was original except the slide was late. Rifle came from Pa. and I bought it here locally. Only part in question seems to be the slide.

That doesn't look like a type V slide to me. The type V has a very steep angle where yours looks slight. Take a shot from the top looking at the slide.

Looking at this photo link I think mine is a type V.

The slide still could be original. Like I said on the CMP site unless it has the M2 cut or the 7160091 number on the bottom itcould be original. I can't give you a copy of CCNL# 346 due to it being copywritten, but your serial is well within the excepted range for the later cam cut slides on the SG made Inland receivers. My 977,xxx Inland made receiver with a 9-43 barrel also has the later cam angle withoutt the numbers on the bottom and it is marked PI on the inside. The dwell issue I talked about on the cmp site could still be on yours, but we could walk you through checking that if you are still worried. Some of the guys here could give you more detailed numbers of the top of their head, but I can't because I'm not at home right now to get the info. Please don't change out that slide unless it can be proven to be to late for your carbine.

Thanks Dave. I did a goggle search about the slide and it took me to some links on this site. Some which say the later slide could be correct on SG made Inland recievers.

CCNL#339 has an SG subcontracted Inland receiver that's 20k earlier than yours and it has the L-379 slide. Carbine is a documented bringback.
A 1985 newsletter has another SG subcontracted receiver a few thousand later than the one above that has the early slide - and it has a later barrel date! (10-43). Looks like a case can be made that yours is in the transistion.
What is your barrel date and is the SG large or small?

I wouldnt worry about the slide, but try to stop the pitting on the barrel from getting worse with an oil coating and cleaning, get an early swivel..

I know. Sadly that is the only negative of the rifle. Supposedly that part wasn't covered in cosmoline. The barrell is nice and clean however. How would you clean it safely? What oil coating? I picked up an early swivel and II oiler. If my L739 Type V slide is correct should it only have PI on it? I am joining CC soon. Sounds like I need issues 339, 346. Any others for my carbine?
