I thought the name was lined out not the serial number.

True...........That's why this is a strange Carbine. Why was the serial number lined out ?

Just speculating here. But could it be because it failed some sort of inspection and was therefore rejected for service ? Again speculating, but it wouldn't seem so far-fetched to me that someone at some point bought the receiver and attached a parts kit to it.

I would think a rejected receiver would have been melted down for the metal which was in great demand during WWII. Interesting theory though.

i thought if there were duplicates they were ordered to stamp them with an "X" so they could keep up with production

Two with same serial number made, sent to be scrapped but fell into a lunchbox by mistake and was lost.
Some people or companies can not accept any kind of mistake. Would you tell Ordnance you messed up and go through the BS in having one 'X' gun or just toss it. It would not be worth the trouble. A hundred or thousand yes. Remember, we are talking about IBM.
