Well I think I made off like a bandit today at my local gun shop! This summer I picked up an almost correct Inland M1 Carbine and I've been itching to add another one to the collection. I was really hoping not to spend any more money on guns for a while but I just couldn't pass up the chance to buy this gun.
It's an almost entirely correct Underwood M1 Carbine and price...$650!!!
The gun is gorgeous and in spectacular condition with an incredible bore. All of the parts are marked Underwood with the exception of the bolt which is marked Winchester. It came with two mags one of them Underwood and the other marked BW.
After completely disassembling the rifle I discovered that there are only two parts that aren't marked Underwood, the bolt and rear sight. The serial number indicates the rifle was made between March and May 1944. There is a very nice and sharp Underwood cartouche on the side of the stock "G.H.D over U.E.F inside a box with some crossed cannons on the side.
Stock: "P-U"
Handguard: ".U."
Receiver: Underwood
Barrel: Underwood 4-44
Front sight: "EU"
Bolt: "W" Winchester
Rear sight: "S" Saginaw
Hammer: ".U."
Sear: ".U."
Trigger: ".U."
Trigger housing: ".U."
Recoil plate: ".U."
Mag release: "AU"
