M1 carbine question

39chevy
The Inland parts kit from the gunshow is now mated with the Iver Johnson receiver and I went through a whole mag today without a hitch.
But I do have a question. The receiver is marked:

Iver Johnson
N J

According to BlueBook (and some other pubs), IJ did not produce a M1 carbine until 1985. Yet this receiver is marked for New Jersey and IJ only manufactured there from '75-'82.

Can anyone explain this obvious descrepancy (other than the reference pubs are AFU)?.

    I just bought a Carbine and it is my first rifle so you'll have ot bear with me if my question sounds silly. I want to take it to the range this weekend, but I'm having trouble finding out which parts I need to grease/oil to guarantee it functions properly. Even though I'm new to all of this, I would rather know how ot do it than pay someone to do something so simple for me. As of right now it was just cleaned so nothing is greased. If someone could refer me to a site or give me a detailed step by step process it would help me out a lot. Also if you reccommend any types of oil or grease or have any other tips I'd be more than happy to hear. Thanks a lot!
