Ask and you'll receive. The best thing you can do if not confident or well versed is to take pics and post to threads like these for some of the collecting veterans to have a look. Heck I made a couple bad buys in my collecting career. Thankfully they weren't exorborant purchases and only lost a few grand, basically was a cheap lesson learned. I bought the books, did the studying, ask the questions, took every opportunity to handle as many guns in my collection focus as I could.

So here's three original carbines I chose to dissemble because of differences
First production run M1A1icon
1943 early type 1 Saginaw
1944 transitional WRA mix of type one and two parts

So pay attention to where the trigger guard sits in M1A1 stock


So out of the few I've seen close up the wear on mine is actually quite mild.



See how there is no or little wear at that point on the other carbines.
