Many of the IBM receivers in this range are also stamped "AO" and were manufactured by Auto Ordinance who also made the Thompson sub-machinegun. How about yours? -MComment

First, thanks to all for the help.
This is a type 1 from what I have found. "if it matters"
Reciever marked "U.S. CARBINE CAL.30 M1" and "I.B.M. CORP."Barrel marked "I.B.M. CORP" farther down "P"
Front site "SIB" Rear site "FOB" Mag release "EPB" Safety "EPB"
Stock "J" in sling slot
Forearm "RMC" underside
All I've found so far, not really up on M1's, into it for $600, it's in great shape, don't laugh to hard if I overpaid for it.The Colt 1911 Government Model: The most widely produced, copied, used, talked about, written about and debated handgun in the world, referred to by many as "the world's greatest handgun".

Front sight made by Simpro Mfg. Co. for IBM
Rear sight is also for IBM.
Magazine catch and safety made by Eaton-Pond Co. for IBM
Stock is a replacement made by Jewell Bros. Mfg. Co., unless it is actually marked JL-B.
If the handguard is "RMC" instead of "RCM" it is Rock-Ola.
If those IBM parts are genuine and not reproductions your carbine is worth more than $600.Revolvers are not pistols
Calling a revolver a "pistol" is like calling a magazine a "clip", calling a shotgun a rifle, or a calling a man a woman.pistol nouna handgun whose chamber is integral with the barrel

If you have the narrow Type 1 barrel band without the bayonet lug and if your bolt, hammer, trigger, sear, and operating slide are IBM that carbine would really be worth restoring to "correct" configuration. You would need a stock marked BR-B, JL-B, LW-B, or SC-B with a recoil plate marked PR-B. IBM used some RMC handguards so yours is OK. I noticed your trigger housing is the stamped and brazed type used by IBM; it is probably marked BE-B.Revolvers are not pistols
