The receiver dates to late 1915 - the barrel is a replacement which dates from nearly a year AFTER Pearl Harbor. Keep in mind the barrel was made in 1942 and could have been part of an overhaul done weeks, months or even years later. The stock, handguard and rear sight are replacements and the rifle was refinished.
The rifle is not a carbine, but M1903 assembled and put together with mixed parts. It is rather handsome, but it is worth a fraction of what its value would be in original condition. Possibly $500, assuming the bore is in good condition.
I see your first post - welcome!
