    I have really enjoyed this site, thank you for including me. I have an Underwood WTA 2,399,591 with Winchester parts. Can anyone tell me the service date and corresponding Winchester S/N. Thank all of you for a great site.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    One reference says serial numbers 2,352,520 - 2,912,519 were completed March or April 1944. I don't know what your asking about "corresponding Winchester S/N".

    Winchester marked the "WA". The "T" was already there from another Underwood sub contractor, "Intertype Corp." I have seen a few, and the WA is not as deep or hard punched as the T.

    The receiver was sold to Winchester by Underwood about May 1944 after Underwood finished it's carbine contract. A bit of a guess would be during the summer of 1944 is when Winchester used these receivers. I don't think there was more then one to two months total production with these receivers.
