Nice looking rifle with matching receiver and barrel. Obviously not the correct bayonet. I assume a four groove barrel? Should shoot like a house on fire. One of the first 50,000 made, probably when they really started cooking in early 1943. Does it have a QWERTY keyboard? (JK)

It is a nice one, but I will know more when I finely get it. It does have the matching stock as well. Thank you for Replaying back :)

Your rifle is not listed in SRS. Your rifle appears to be correct and original except for having a replacement cocking piece from a Remington rifle.

Good Luck!

Bill, What's your finders fee? I've been waiting patiently to find an early SC to match the very late 1942 SC typewriter I brought back to life a while back - kids use it very frequently for penpals, soothing to hear it clacking away while I'm working in the shop.

I think I posted pics of my underwood typewritter...last month of typewriter production before they shut down to retool.

Nice rifle-- PS the M5 Bayonet is only designed for M1 Garand rifle.
