    Ten offers some great advice. If you have a carbine with a mix of parts that works, why would you take off various parts and maybe make it not work and spend lots of money for parts that may be fake? The end result will be a mixmaster with flaws and fakes. The term "corrected" is the kiss of death for a lot of people. The majority of original carbines are late production guns by Winchester and Inland. They went from factory to storage and were sold back to the public by the NRA. Consider that these guns had all of the latest parts and work very well.

    Well I need parts to get the rifle in working order so looking for correct parts seems like a good idea. However, just getting it in working order also seems solid lol. I need a complete stock, front and rear sights at minimum. Likely need a barrel band as well.
