Just circling back on this one, I'm still looking for information and help.

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)

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.

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!

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