Did you pay the $800 for the barreled receiver? The receiver looks good in that it has no crater stake marks from an adjustable rear sight and that's good for a restoration. Stay away from Riverbank out in the land of fruits and nuts, California. He sells fake parts. Finding real rear sights is something you have to wait to find. One here and one there but never a bunch together. Not cheap to find an original. You will also need an unmarked swivel or one marked KV-B. Good luck in your quest but take your time. Ask questions here. AND get a good reference book like Riesch's M1icon Carbine Wartime Production. A good book for around $25 or less. I think it's in the 8th edition now. He updates it with each new edition.
    Thanks for the reply Bruce. I have all the real IBM parts in my inventory required, if I just wanted to put it back together in correct fashion. I am looking for the parts, which I have most of already, that were actually removed from this specific carbine by seller. I am more of a CCNL's or Ruth kind of guy but do own Riesch's 8th edition. Removing the filler in sling well and I-Cut, will be a fun project for sure. Yep; the barreled receiver is a winner; no bayo band pad wear or shadowing either.
