They're still out there...............

[KEN]

Was on vacation this past week and rescued this from a mostly archery, but some guns, shop in SW Florida. "What kind of carbine you got there?" "Its a 1943 Underwood" I thought I was gonna faint when the guy handed it to me. Its actually a 4.7million range Quality Hardware with a 12-43 Underwood barrel on it. Right as rain! It kept whispering to me, "Please save me all these bows & arrows scare me!" How could I turn my back on such a request?? I haven't had a chance to clean it up yet and though I'm really an Inland kind of guy, this may just be a keeper! I'll post more pics later.

They really ARE still out there...................

Fantastic find, Ken!

I bet you were grinning like a possum all the way home! I've always loved the excitement of finding a great gun. Congrats!

He actually let me pull the action out of the stock and I pulled the trigger housing, mainspring, slide and bolt out and I could see everything was right. Its really hard to keep a straight face in a situation like that. And yes I had to keep pinching myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming. I was almost afraid to open the trunk when I got back to the house for fear it wasn't really there!
