That's a nice looking carbine! Markings on barrel and receiver?

I'm still trying to understand "high wood" and "low wood" stocks. That's a "low wood" stock?

I've got two Inland carbines. Recently went through pouches and magazines looking for makers' markings.

Pouches:
B.B.S. Co. 1943 (stock)
Pittsburgh Garter Co. 1943 (belt)
J.S.& S. Co. 1943 (stock)
J.Q.M.D. 1942 (stock)
Midland Fabrics Co. 1943 (belt)
Boyt -45- U.S.M.C. N.O.M.-47218 (stock).

Magazines (15rd):
SL (Standard Products)
IA (Inland)
U (Union Hardware)
IU (Underwood)
SC K (on bottom) ?
IW (Winchester)
R-O (Rock-Ola)
KI (Inland)
IS (Standard Products)
UI (Inland)
IU (circled) (Inland or Underwood)?

And some unmarked 30rd magazines.

Picked up the carbines and mags etc about twenty years ago. It was fun to go through the box of mags and pouches to see what was in there. Back then, new in wrap mags were $2 each iirc.
