Receiver Ring Damage on Underwood

Seen this today, but not sure if it's UEF.
Serial looks like it might be 3,385,xxx Possible S'G' ?? With Underwood Barrel?
Would have to look at the Op slide groove on the receiver for maker.. But its late.
It's Damaged forward of the bolts left locking lug... looks to be on the receiver ring. I'll attach a link to the add on Armslist. Not a word about any damage in the add.
Maybe damaged during a barrel swap?
Not sure on the stock maker, but it is a I cut Hi-wood. Yours for $1,100 :cheers:
Be careful out there.......... :rolleyes:

The OP slide groove on that one is rounded at the back. The one on my Underwood is square, but it's not a sub-contracted receiver. - Bob

Called the seller -- an extremely helpful and pleasant gentleman. He says SN is 3385XXX -- in the SG range but he could not see the maker stamp under the rear sight so it might be an S'G'. Barrel is an 8-44 Underwood (replacement) with Blue Sky stamp. T-1 stock patina appears legit but stamps missing -- sanded? No idea on the internals. Nice looking rifle. . . .

"...Blue Sky stamp..." Blue Sky is known for damaging the Carbines they built. Usually dented barrels caused by excessive force used on the stamp. They might have damaged that receiver too. Hard to tell what might have done that from the picture though.

The "Blue Sky" stamp many be deep and incontestable but that doesn't always mean it ruins the barrel. Some of my best groupings have been with a Blue Sky marked barrel.
One thing it is, ugly.

Yes we did.

For a worn import it is well over priced. The only good thing going for it is the stock being a high wood.

Ole Bruce................ Always with them negative waves.....
I bet you'd be a real riot on a long road trip.. :bitch:

Pull up your Snuggy, throw another log on the fire.... Your 'Harsh' winter will break soon.

Hey, its not meaness, he's just telling it like it is.
If by 'damage' you are referring to the curved angle cut just above the bolt, the one on that carbine is a flatter angle than on my Inland but appears to be as it was made. Looks like the finish is worn off too. The only other thing I see is some 'pits' forward of the LH locking lug but doesn't seem to be anything broken off.

Your NOT the one selling this ah beautiful recreation are you Charlie?????? See no more negative waves with this beauty OK???

It is a nice honest looking carbine, other than the suggested damage..."I" cut stock...

I wonder if that "damage" might be something like this on my 400K Inland receiver? :dunno: - Bob

Looks like that came from production and was passed because it was simply cosmetic.
