I'm not by the rifle at the moment but I know the bolt is wonchester so I doubt it. On the hand grip the only thing I've seen is a p in a circle. Sorry I'm not super knowledgeable about these

DO NOT TRADE YOUR GARAND for a POS carbine. The carbine is a tinker toy. Buy one of the later repros to play with. I've never seen CMP on a stock. Maybe they are on the new ones they make to build all the guns in their inventory. There is only 1 serial number on an M1 - on the receiver. Nearly 100% of all M1 rifles and carbines are mix masters. They have been through the rebuild process many times and as a testament to American manufacturing parts will truly interchange regardless of who made them.
My dad was a tool maker at Saginaw Steering Gear during WWII and did most of the tooling for the BAR and M1 Carbines they made. I bought a Steering Gear Carbine to surprise him with and he asked why I wasted my money. He was right of course and I sold it.
PS - if you ever do get the grenade launcher and some blanks do not fire it from your shoulder.

About 35 - 40 years ago I was sitting with 2 WW2 Marines and my dad. One guy said he carried the M1 Carbine and told me this: On the islands the Japs would pop their heads up. When they did, he would "Pumpkin shoot" (his exact words) them. The Carbine was good for this and in the 100 degree heat it weighed a "hell of a lot less than the Garand." (Again his words, not mine. I still remember because the other Marine was my Uncle Johnny who carried a BAR on Iwo Jima. He loved the BAR, but agreed it was heavy.) The other Marine didn't have a problem with the little carbine. My dad on the other hand was in the 90th Division (Tough Ombres), 3rd Army, and praised the Garand and didn't care for the carbine ("No firepower" again his words). In the Ardennes, around Christmas 1944. he said, the GI's urinated on the Garand action in the morning to unfreeze it. (I remember him saying the GI in his squad with the BAR kept it cleaner than mom kept me when I was a baby.) True war stories.

A head shot with a carbine would work. Body shot no. The BAR was the heaviest of the bunch - I still have a scribe my dad made from a BAR firing pin and some Saginaw M1 parts still in the envelopes. When the war in Europe was over the came through and released a bunch of guys to enlist. My dad did basic in WA and then got sent by ship to Anchorage to run a machine shop. They took my mom and other dependents there via the newly finished ALCAN Hwy. They were really building up Alaska to defend it from another Japanese attack. They tried to issue him a carbine and he said no thanks took a 45 instead.

Each has their special purpose, which is why one must own all three. :D
