Ok, so I don't wade over here as much as I would like to, but I hope someone here might have more info on military guns than I do.
I had an M1 carbine come into the store and after looking it over, my gunsmith thinks it's from the 555 Triple Nickles.
Some of this info adds up and others doesn't but the info he was getting was basically second hand and may be mostly right with a few things mixed up.
If you look at the stock, there are five wooden pegs inserted into it. They have obviously been there for a long freaking time. Gunsmith says they probably are from the 555 Triple Nickle... and all black parachute unit. He mentioned Korea but when looking up the company, that doesn't add up as they were from 1944-1947. It does add up that the rifle being made in 1944 would possibly be given to them.
So, does anyone that know more about WWII weapon history have info that may jive with this? Or is this a rabbit hole that may lead to no where?

You can see the wood pegs under the comb of the stock. There are five... and three of them make a distinct triangle... 5 pegs and the fact that pyramids play into the 555s stuff does make this add up a bit.
