I dont know alot about carbines, have a few to fill that WWII small arms slot. If and when I get a gun that pelts me with brass I wear a hat and pull the brim down hard and tighten up my cheekweld.

Correct Inland may 44. Stock has no markings.
Try a new ejector first and look to see what slide you have. I installed a new USGI extractor on one of mine and it made it worse!One of mine throws brass into my forehead and I get little half moon cuts from it. I don't remember which one it was, but the next time I find it. it will get a new extractor. That is typically yhr cause.
Congrats!
So did a lot of these go directly from Europe?
If they have IBM, I'd be interested. Always kind of wanted an IBM M1 carbine.
Some photos of my Underwood:
The serial number places it within the last 4000 carbines that Underwood made in their first production run, so November 1942. It has a Rock-ola barrel with no date and a Winchester stock, along with a two-rivet handguard. The right side of the stock has the Winchester cartouche marks. The left side has Springfield Armory cartouche marks from the post-war rebuild. There is a SA marked adjustable sight added during the post-war refit. It has a flat bolt, not a round bolt. I have a bolt tool coming this week. I am very pleased with this carbine.
I am looking for suggestions on cleaning up the stock a bit, if possible. However, I don't want to mess up the cartouche marks. Any thoughts??

What’s up with the receiver? Dent or gouge?
Answer; NO.

the stock is rough, the metal looks pretty good with the few pictures you sent. It appears to have all the updated parts and pieces. Over hauled and never reissued , maybe. even at $1300 depending on what it is might still be a ok price.You guys tell me is this excellent to unissued,and worth $133516 shipped.View attachment 356217View attachment 356218View attachment 356219
I like to start with a soft brush , like a leather shoe brush. Then I will mix up a small batch of sudsy dish soapy water. I then just scoop up suds with the brush and gently scrub and wipe with bounty towels. This often gets the crud off. The Linseed oil and cheese cloth works well also.Some photos of my Underwood:
