That's a beaut. Just remember to grease the barrel in front of the barrel band before you take the action out of the stock. Would be a shame to scratch that pristine park job. If I were you I would try to remove that stock finish with rubbing alcohol or mineral spirits and refinish before even thinking about ordering a repro stock. Could save you the bucks and keep your carbine authentic as a rebuild.
Not that it matters much, but that CMP stock has the I-cut for the oiler and that's not correct for your serial number (if I read it right - 471xxxx).
Could you tell us the maker's name in front of the serial number? Does it say Quality HMC? Almost looks like it says Rock-ola. Kinda hard to see under that rear sight, but the first two letters appear to be legible without using a mirror.

Its a Quality Hardware gun. I have thought about refinishing the stock but the stampings are gone so I was less interested in that project. Its a .eat carbine. The chamber/throat and muzzle are like new!

You're replacing a molested stock with some history with one with no history at all.
Gently put your old stock aside for the moment. Someone will like to have it.
Nice Carbine......

Nice rifle. Heck, I would vote for keeping it with the stock it came with.

I would second that on keeping that stock.

Same here. I'd definitely prefer the vintage original military stock. It would look great if brought back to military finish.
It wouldn't be difficult to bring it back and there are many people here who are experts who'd be happy to assist.

I see you have what appears to be a German leather sling on your carbine. It's possible the carbine is one of the "Bavarian" / Austrian carbines received from the US after WWII. If so, the high gloss finish may be correct for that carbine as most were refinished by the Germans & Austrians.
Look for markings on the reciever rail, bottom of the trigger housing, top of the bolt etc. Could be like "Bavarian Rural Police", "LGKNO", last 4 digits of the serial # etc. Check out the following web site:
U.S. Carbines during the American Occupation
If it's a "Bavarian", I'd probably leave the stock alone.

Zooming in on the first picture I didn't see any Bavarian type markings on the receiver.
