Stock question

Will my carbine action/barrel fit in a compact stock? If so, Should I have any problems considering the compact stock does not employ a barrel band?

Thanks in advance

The barrel band is just for looks more than any retention purposes. Think...the barrel is secured by the two screws and the whole barreled action is secured by the take-down bolt. Nothing going anyplace.
Yes it will fit.

The only potential problem you may need to correct is if the new stock does not have a decent receiver shelf for the receiver to lay into...For example, the Butler Creek folding stock has a very low receiver shelf where you can literally push the receiver down into the stock when it's all screwed in...this creates a teetering motion of the entire barreled action if the barrel band is not in use and it's very sloppy...If you bed or even pin the receiver to the stock then you are all good to go and the barrel band is of no use but cosmetic...fully float the barrel and bed the first 2 inches of the barrel and you're golden
