First M1 Carbine

[N.Ga.Trader]

Just picked up my first M1 carbine, super excited about it. It has been a bucket list gun for me for quite some time. Before this I had gotten a garand, so I have 2 of the 4 unicorns that I want. I would also like to acquire a war time M1903A3 and a war time M1911. Anyway, I was hoping you guys could help I'd the parts on the 44 Inland carbine that I picked up

Awesome job on getting all those pics of the manufacturer's stamps!

Are the HI, DI and KI stamps inspector initials? (Sorry for the dumb question, but the M1 was way before my time.)

Awesome job on getting all those pics of the . manufacturers stamps!

I took pictures of the ones on my garand the same just to document what parts the rifles had that way I can just look at pictures if I can't remember instead of disassembling the rifle again. I try to minimize taking them down that far.
