Considering all the external rust pits, it's had a rough life
Alpine sold National Ordnance Carbines manufacture in the 1950s and 60s, with a total of between 25,000 and 30,000 being manufactured.
The WWII flip site was probably not original to the rifle, as all the pictures I've ever seen of Alpines showed the late/post war graduated rear site.
Also, the WWII butt plate would probably not have come from Alpine.
Checkering looks well done, but with the external pitting issue, a photo showing the condition of the bore would be a must.

Interesting thing was the barrels.... they were from 1903A3 rifles!!!
machined down to a M1 carbine shape then rechambered.
The Alpine rifling was 1/10.
US issued M1 carbines were 1/16.
Think about that a minute......
