Sight question/new carbine

[shamrocks]

I had a chance to take a few photos this morning. From what I can tell looking at the serial no. blocks it was made late 1943 or Jan 1944. I got a really nice price on it of $675 I couldn't pass up (that included tax) Haven't checked the trigger or sear for markings or the firing pin but the others are...Inland hi wood stock OI in sling well and hand guard, WU marked Operating Slide, round Inland bolt IO 2, Underwood barrel ?/44 dated, hammer LT-Q, circled A post war barrel band/lug, Inland DI recoil plate, Inland butt plate, unmarked front sight, and I believe a Std Pro housing, CC over M mag catch face, and rotary safety with circled M. It all looks in really nice condition and I have already located a correct rear sight that I will swap out with the repro flip. it has great head space but the muzzle is 3 on my gage but with nice grooves and no rust or pitting. Given the date of production I wonder if the barrel might be original to the receiver.
