    Trigger Housing

    I have been trying to I.D. a trigger housing on a new acquisition and I can't find it in any resource that I have and was wondering if anyone here might know something about it. It appears to be a Type V with the oil hole in it. The only marking that I can find on it is a "R" on the inside bottom in an indentation between where the safety and the mag release go through. The rotary safety and the mag release are post war rebuild marked and I thought I would locate the housing there, but no mention that I can find.

    One other thing that caught my attention was that it is a different sort of green than I have been running into and it seems pretty easily scratched.

    Look inside the mag well.....it might have a "U" in there. Underwood marked theirs that way rather than on the outside like other mfgs.

    I had a "seafoam" or "institutional" green trigger housing once. It was a teflon coated one that went with the likewise light green teflon coated Universal carbine. Maybe that is what you have? Likewise Picure =1000 words...

    Trigger Housing

    Sorry, my bad. Was late last night when I quit peering at this thing through all sorts or light and all sorts of magnifiers. I did look in the magazine well hoping for the U as the books said, but nothing there that I can pick up. It came with an Underwood barrel but this seems lighter. Teflon seems to fit the bill, the older you can feel it teflon feel. Hope the pictures capture the color if nothing else.Attachment 23635Attachment 23636Attachment 23640Attachment 23639Attachment 23638Attachment 23637

    I was thinking it was something like that but have never run across one or any parts to one......unless I have now. Oh well, if that is the only bogus piece on this thing, I'll be happy.

    My eyes are heading south too, so what looks focused to me may be fuzzy to the rest of the world. It does have a M2 slide so I was thinking the same thing, but so far haven't tracked it down in the post war stuff I've looked at.

    Your Trigger Housing is cast, notice casting lines through the middle of it. I dont know if any of the postwar USGI housings were cast, maybe someone does. Probably a commercial housing, IMO.
