Contact Chuckindenver on the 1917 board. He's done several repark jobs for me at reasonable prices and turnaround time

It's yours to do with as you deem best, of course, but have you determined it's not all original yet? It would be a shame to alter an original gun for appearance sake. Plenty of knowledge on this forum if you'd like to investigate parts markings.

thanks for the info guys, as far as I can tell it has the type I hammer, and evry internal part is marked either inland or a correct inland stamp as in I-P on the early operating rod and right now i cannot remember them all, but I did strip it and look up every part and they are all correct . I am fairly certain that the stock would not be original as it is not a high wood and i think it should have been for a mid 300,000 rifle and there are no arsenal rework stamps on the stock. I have a feeling that I am going to send it to DGR and et them have at it. kind of a shame because the metal is probably 80%+ park remaining.

If it has 80% plus park, leave it at is. That is my advice.

Could you post some pictures of it before you send it off ?
I'm sure there are many members here that would love to see it....... It's a big part of what we do ! I call it STOCK.. METAL and AWE !
Just curious about the metals finish color and condition. Along with the part Types , Milling styles, markings and the P proof stamp (s) on the barrel.
A Op Slide marked I-P would be a early Irwin-Pedersen part, being a Type II or Type III.
Which may be correct if there's any record of part transfers from IP to Inland.
The early Inland slides were marked with a circled PI or a underlined PI
It would be a wise move to further study such a early carbine before sending it off for any re-work.
Please consider downloading a copy of the Carbine Club data sheet and filling it out before you have anything done to it.

P.S. Include a picture of the damaged stock. There are a few here that can repair these, as Shadycon was getting around to.

O.K I can see I must pay more attention, getting old sucks, my slide is P.I I was working from memory, glad to take photos but do not know how to post them
M1 Carbine slide mine is identical in all respects to this one, also has the type I dogleg hammer marked either IH OR HI depending on how you look at it. Next question, I just got a DGR highwood stock with a type 2 finish, is this a good one? try this link for the chipped stock, I hope it works

bob34787, Hi and welcome to the forum. The pic of the stock didn't come through. Can you try the photo of the stock again? Like Charlie and Shadycon said it can be repaired. Keep the chip, and you will get some guidence on fixing it. You will then have the right stock and that is a plus.....Frank
