Need some M1 Carbine Advice

Just paid a nephew $150 for it. It's beat up. The stock is cracked severely in several places (glueable), exterior of barrel is pitted, light rust on receiver, missing handguard, etc. On the plus side, it shoots, feeds and ejects, is otherwise complete and comes with a couple of two 15 round magazines, a box of ammo.

I know little about these carbines other than this isn't a rare version and would like to end up with a dependable shooter.

I'm considering replacing all the springs. I'll check for and replace any parts with obvious wear after I get the gun. Anything else I should consider replacing?

Thanks
