Could be both. Rule of thumb for S'G'/IP guns. If it is a 1.7 then it will have 60% IP parts. If 1.8 then 60% S'G' parts. Discounting any rebuilds or restorations. Source: War Baby, Extrapolation of the Carbine Club, Michigan Club, Carbine collectors Assn, Reish, Harrison and 50 years of personal collection notes. No one is right or wrong when Saginaw guns are involved.

Thanks for replies
Don't know what it says above serial # because I do not have it. Found this number in his service record where it said he was issued an M1 carbine. Marine Raider, machine gun section leader , KIA. Been looking for the receiver for years, but thought all along I was looking for IP only to realize it might be S'G'
