As a puritan, I appreciate your concern for the USGI and use of the IJ.
As a looker, I would have to say its......'unique'. Glad it shoots well though.
I think the only paint scheme that would work on that is a dark one, maybe a deep raspberry or sapphire?

Cool!
You may want to switch to a type-3 barrel-band (with the bayo lug), if you can find one. Accuracy is better with the type-3 bands, so I'm told. I built a Frankengun-M1 out of a mix of commercial & milsurp parts, and it holds zero on windage, but elevation is another story. The shots group into TWO clusters, seperated vertically by 5-inches or so at 50 yards. I suspect the front band (type 1) is partly to blame. I used the Ultimak mount, which I must say works very well, and provides a very solid rail for mounting a red-dot, or small, long-relief scope.

I think the colour scheme that would look best on this is fire...
it is creative, though
What? I was aware of the minimum cal for hunting, but not aware there is a maximum? Thats gotta be a mistake, people hunt with .303's, .308's etc...
pretty much usless here in southern Ont as the .30 carbine it too BIG for the cal restrictions (as its 30. cal) but I can use a .270........
certian areas have cal restrictions mostly southern ont they for instance dont want you hunting with a 30.06 in north oshawa but a .270 falls under (just picked an area not sure it applies there) I dont have the regs here I tossed them
I think you may be restricted for small game too

I still think it's hot~!
You can't use the .30 Carbine in some parts of Southern Ontario, aside from the Carbine being a restricted firearm, due to calibre restrictions. Not all of Southern Ontario has a calibre restriction of under .275 though. The Counties that do are listed in the hunting regs. Mostly in Southwestern Ontario.
However, there are some townships that have a calibre restriction too. Mostly around TO. As daft as it is, in these places, the max. calibre is .270, by the cartridge name. So a .270 Win is ok(despite the bullet diameter), but a .275 Weatherby is not.
"...may be restricted for small game too..." Yep.
