The color you see under the rear sight is the towel under the gun. There is a space under the sight.
I didn't take the front sight off to check the parts, the key and pin are missing so it's loose, I slid it off so it wouldn't fall off while I was handling it. I ordered a USGI key and pin for it.
I was at a friends place today and he got his two M1 carbines out. He has this Underwood and a Saginaw "SG". I took the Underwood apart to see what parts it had. Here is the parts. I believe the...
I can't find anything about this rifle. It looks a kind of neat though.

Thanks a lot for the replies my Brothers, I got lucky.
I bid this up to $3200 and quit. Is the condition of this carbine as nice as I thought? It looks almost unfired. Is the check mark in the open SA box a sub inspectors mark?
...
I don't know, I sold it to a friend of mine. He is going to use it in our next Garand match and then we shall see.
The top one isn't even close. The flame only has three sections, the cannon muzzles are too square, the cannon balls are the wrong size, the buckle is way off, the G and S are too skinny and the H is...
That is correct. I noted in the original post it was a WWII replacement, I know from the cut also.
Here is what it looked like before.

I think the handguard is the correct style. Here are a couple of these for sale that have the same profile of handguard. One even has the same barrel date as this one.
...
I don't think the lower band should be blued and I think the upper hand guard is a WWII replacement, but it matches great. The bore is very shiny and gauges less than 1.
This is the rifle I bought from an auction a while back. Because of where it is in the SRS list I thought it was a target rifle but I didn't know if it could be brought back to life. I don't have a...
I'm going to put it back in a correct stock so I was wondering if the M1922 stock is worth anything to anyone. It's a very nice piece of wood with only 2 very small dings but it has had the pistol...
It tops out at about the 87 mark.
I think the barrel is original to the rifle. The serial# and the barrel date and the star gauge number that the book shows had no accompanying letter from serial# range 1220000 to about 1250000....
The star gauge mark was first used on the 1921 match rifles. The numbers didn't always have a letter included. I'm sure this is a star gauged barrel. The muzzle being worn make the stamp look fuzzy.
The sight scale goes to 125 yds, I think at least the scale is right for the match rifles. What would have gone where the original sight collar is missing and the barrel is in the white? The bore is...
Here it is all cleaned up. It looks like there was a front band at one time, there is a hole all the way through. I think it cleaned up nice. I just rubbed gun oil on the stock for now. Is this stock...
I bought this for $500 because I can't control myself. When I bought it there was a leather wrap around the barrel where the sight collar would have been. It went all the way to the forearm tip and...
I took lots of good detail pictures of all of the marks on mine. I posted this 7 years ago.

A friend of mine wanted a Luger so I found this one for him. Both of us are gun collectors but neither of us has bought a Luger or know anything about them. I tried to take good pictures but the...
Thanks Richard, I appreciate your knowledge. Glad your feeling better. :thup: Oh, the front sight blade is from a rifle and I just ordered your book from Amazon.
I have been checking and I think the saddle ring bar is the newer thicker one.
I think the hammers we have are correct. The M66, M68, M68, and M70 all had a stamped pattern on the tip and the Type I course, almost hand filed looking hammer came on the M73 and then the stamped...
