other side of the stock is stamped-AAF,and a single P in a curve on the bottom side of the stock.I am beginning to not know the name of parts where the other markings I haven't mentioned yet are,so if you can direct me there that would be great

Your carbine has been extensively rebuilt. The best place to learn the nomenclatures of the parts and their codes are in the commercial books. Larry Ruth has a very good book called War Baby, costs around $55.00. Harrison has a very good book for parts identification but a large amount of the information is in dispute amongst advanced collectors. If you purchase Harrison's book use it only for learning how to identify parts and their markings.

Don't have War Babies yet but I've heard that it's like the bible for the carbine.....great suggestion Bill! Go Airborne!

I had been looking for an answer like that Bill.Thank you.I realized when I got it back it wasn't going to be sold to anyone.I've poured over these trying to see if what I had was a rebuild,and when he put it back in my hands after all the research I knew all I wanted to do was learn about MY carbine.Rebuilt or not,I've learned the appreciation factor of one of these.Thank you guys for the info.I will be enjoying it soon.
