M1 Carbine
One of my son-in-laws really is fond of the M1 and may be actively plotting my demise to obtain it. The barrel is marked "INLAND MFG DIV, GENERAL MOTORS, 10 - 43" just behind the front sight. Between that and the stock, there is a "P". Receiver is marked "US CARBINE, CAL 30, M1". Rear sight is marked "I.R. CO. 7160060". The tang is marked "STANDARD PRODUCTS". The serial number is 2953846, however the "3" is my best guess as it is mostly covered by the rear sight which as I have read somewhere can be quite tricky to remove and my require expertise beyond my capabilities. The indentation on the left side of the rear stock has "S - HB" engraved into it.
Here are a couple of pictures. I wasn't sure what was needed in them so can take more specifics if need be and my camera skills improve.
