I picked up a very decent Winchester M1 carbine at a gun show down here in Florida. Sadly, all of my reference books are back home in Ohio. It is a late model having a serial number starting with 6.53M. What would be the correct front sight (how marked ?), barrel band and safety ? Your help would be appreciated. I think this rifle was manufactured in January, 1945.

Closer to April 1945 for your serial number. Typical Winchester type 1 front,type 3 barrel band marked with a C on the left side and the type 3 push safety marked EW is correct.
