The rear sight should be peened in place anyway.
Click on 'Manufacturers' and you find a good picture of what all the 'prime contractors' receiver stamps look like. Inland's is "Inland Div." I'd bet that's what you have. Especially given the S/N like Tuna says.
Click on 'Parts', then the 'Barrel group' picture and scroll way down to 'The Government Free Issue Barrel Program". Down a bit more and you'll find info about the barrel. Saginaw Grand Rapids(the S'G' stamp) did not make barrels. Saginaw of Saginaw(the S.G. stamp) did. None of the 'prime contractors' made all the parts.
The 'P' on the stock is just an acceptance mark. 99.99% of all Carbines went through a post-war arsenal rebuild.
I thought they were staked...
