    Dick,
    If, like the response above by T-R the SN # is 327,613 it's a 6 digit and would be a Inland.
    If the serial Number is 3,276,13? million, it would fall in a split serial number block.
    This 'Split block' starts at 3,250,020 with the first part of the production being made by Saginaw (SG) of Saginaw Michigan and ended at 3,651,519 with these later production carbines being made at the Saginaw (S'G') Division at Grand Rapids, Michigan.
    We really need to know the correct Serial Number to help you correctly ID the receiver, as the receiver is the maker.
    If the Dated Inland Barrel is original to this receiver, the receiver may just be from the S'G' Grand Rapids Division, as they were known to use some Inland barrels.
    SG, Saginaw Steering Gear Divison of Saginaw, Michigan was known to use their own barrels in most cases.
    Now there is a possibility that the barrel may have been changed either during rebuild or my the Importer.

    If it were me.... I'd ask about Stock Markings, See if the stock is a Potbelly M2 style. Ask about The Trigger Housing and Internals, The Op Slide, Bolt maker, front sight markings and most importantly the condition of the barrels' bore and muzzle.

    We're here to help. Get the correct SN# and don't forget to ask him questions.

    Without knowing more about the stock and value of the parts, I'd agree $800 seems high for a Import. But that could change with the value of the parts, overall condition and any extras.

    Lastly.... Has he sent you any pictures? If so post them here.

    HTH and Good Luck,
