Thoughts needed........
Should I find a trader who wants a 3,403 mil SG receiver and parked SG flat bolt and swap for a NPM receiver and bolt?
Just thinking since this one came with a (no date) IBM barrel....and IF (?) NPM did use IBM barrels, I could swap out receivers and have a NPM. Of which I currently have no version of.

What would you do?

While Underwood did provide a large number of barrels for NPM (who never made any of their own) IBM also made barrels for the free-issue barrel program so their barrels would be correct for NPM. I'm not sure, however, that an IBM front sight would be correct for NPM. Doesn't sound like it would hurt to try for a swap, one never knows whether someone might to take you up on it until you try.
