Thanks for the reply and the information. Mine has the original IBM barrel, NPM trigger housing and the rest of the stuff is W. A very nice rebuilt carbine by one of the very best manufacturers. Rest of the stuff is standard rebuild parts like the type3 band. N14 bolt is NPM, Internal parts are either Underwood or Inland, slide is a QHW part, rear sight is a Hemphill for sure from a rebuild, Look closely at the Recoil Plate some Inland are are very faintly marked or marked on the tang. The Marlin barrel could be original to the carbine, most of these late NPM had IBM Corp barrels. You say it has a "10" in there, I don't see that, but an Overton for Inland would be "OI" so reading it upside down could look like a 10. The stock on yours is a really nice stock but I don't think it is a NPM. NPM stocks are clearly marked TN or "TRIMBLE /TN" in pretty bold letters usually at the top inside the slingwell.
Handguard - walnut, two rivets, no markings or sanded offīuttplate - unmarked, square checkering pattern Remnants of two circled “P” marks on pistol grip, also “10” on pistol grip Rear sight - adjustable, stamped, marked “H” in shieldīarrel band - bayonet lug type, marked “J.M.Q.” on side, “EM-Q” on lug that this is a NPM Trimble TN stock? Thanks for any input you can give me. From what I have read the Ps probably mean a USGI stock and the carbine was rebuilt at least twice before Fabbricca d'armi Terni rebuilt it. There are no other markings that I can see. It also has a 10 on the bottom of the pistol grip which I presume is a rack number. It's obviously been refinished, but has 2 faint circle Ps on the front of the pistol grip. One of the biggest questions I have is the stock. I like the idea of preserving it's history as is. It's a mix master and I have no intention of "correcting" it. From this and the dark park it has, I deduced this was probably one of the CMP carbines that came from Italy and sold some years ago.
Here's what I can tell you I know: I found a very lightly stamped FAT under a star on the barrel and a very small FAT upside down on the receiver just under the serial number and U. However, there are holes in the information I can find on parts. I am fairly new to carbines but have done some research. Recently purchased my first carbine, an non-import stamped National Postal Meter (U) receiver from a private seller.
