Not to bump my own thread, but thought I would share an update.

That's the one!!!
Saw an interesting one today: An Underwood E-Series Presentation Carbine at a small local gun show in rural Maine.
The only markings I could find in a quick examination in poor light were:
Front...
Wondering what I have here? I have had this case since sometime pre-1980, and in fact had forgotten I had this, but ran across it when picking through some old boxes of stuff in my parent's barn.
...
Brings back memories-this was my first carbine as a kid! As I remember, it had a wood stock.
It is long gone, but I picked one up at a Gun show 2 years ago.
Thanks for the replies, everyone!
They were so far outside my price range that they were never a serious option.
Haven't posted in ages.....I searched, and apologize if this is a rehash of any earlier threads.
I was looking at (2) Underwoods earlier today, both purportedly un-restored, both with all original...
Yeah--I had a Crossman waaaay back in the day. My first Carbine. I think I wore it out/broke it about the time I got a "real" carbine for my 13th birthday back in 1979. It is loooong gone, but...
Yes--that's part of the fun, prepping for the first range trip.
I should have clarified that the "failures to feed" were really "failures to completely feed a new round," and were corrected by...
Well, that was FUN!!
I took it to the range today and ran 100 rounds of CCI Mini-Mags through it. That was $8 of fun, versus the price of 100 rounds of .30 carbine..........
(The .22 ammo crisis...
Hopefully, this weekend.
I have seen a number of old threads about the Chiappa/Citadel .22LR M1 Carbine, and thought that rather than re-hash old discussions, I'd simply start a new one.
I did it. I bought one. Given the...
Me, too. Inside a ziploc!!
Ditto.
Ditto! I got the rebuild sighted-in better last weekend, and was managing pretty consistent 2" groups at 50 yards. About 3" above the actual point of aim, but centered right over it, so I am happy....
Agreed--once I adjusted the rear sight on the rebuild, it hit pretty much right where I expected.
Interesting--I have fired other carbines as well, and they have all shot pretty far to the right as well. I know that the rifle is a fairly "unbalanced" design, meaning that there is more...
I took the twins to the range last weekend and thought I'd share the results of a 50-yard sight-in for each. I ran 30 rounds through each off the bench, measured to the center of the group from the...
Thanks--yeah, I'm logical. To a fault, sometimes, but always logical!!
I should have added that this list of parts is ONE set of parts for all my carbines (2 Underwoods currently, goal of about 6...
My list (personal preference only, and I do not have everything on this list yet, and it will probably change) is to have on hand at least one of everything that either moves, contains a number of...
The Eagle Has Landed had a TON of Carbines in it. Set in (roughly) 1943.............M2 carbines..........................with bayonet lugs...........................and adjustable...
Thank you!!!!
It's been a looooooong time since I posted anything here, but thought I would ask your opinion on a current E-Bay auction. I'm in the market for an Underwood-marked magazine. I have a gajillion IS...
Ditto. Super-fast shipping, very responsive to questions, and the item(s) I bought from him are legit.
Nice. I am fortunate enough to have one in similar condition.
Any recommendations on what to do, if anything, about The Green Stuff around the rivets? I have a scabbard for the Garand that has a...
