Well, with that serial number, it is NOT an original carbine, even if the barrel length is 22". Also, the front sight appears to be located further back from the muzzle than is correct for a real carbine barrel, so I suspect it was cut. Does the muzzle have a proper rounded crown? Also, the stock appears to be a modified rifle stock. Should be a real fun shooter though.
