Probably not, virtually all the Carbines have been through overhaul and ended up as a parts mix anyway from what I have seen so far.

Assuming it's mechanically sound, you could start with a relatively easy to find cheap later beech Potbelly stock set.

Later adjustable backsight and front sight parts, plus bayonet front band, more expensive, but still widely available.

I would be tempted to just fill the drilled hole and just touch in....

That would give you a stock carbine, depends how deep your pockets are really.

This is kindof my plan. I want to get the gun to operating as a servicable rifle and then collect more expensive parts as I go along. Based on my initial research, it's hard to find real GI rock-ola stuff.
