You guys are right, I put it back like it was, and it will stay that way, thanks for being so honest in your comments, all good reasons. Thank you all for helping me .

Here's a few pic's of it after I put it back together and cleaned it up.

Looks great. You mentioned 'maybe I was wrong about the WWII era?'. No, it is a WWII carbine and I think it may be in the serial number range of the first run of M1A1s. All carbines were made during WWII. But having been overhauled and updated while it was in service, it would take an expensive restoration to put it back into original condition. As it is, you still have an honest M1A1 that has some good value which is only going to go up.

Inland,
Thank's for the kind words and good advice. I went back and try'd to find what you are talking about [maybe you was wrong about the WW 2 era ?] if I made a mistake. I did not mean to, prob. just my poor grammar .
This is a great forum, and so many of you guy's that know your carbines, you guy's sure saved me from making a big mistake.
