    Interesting stock

    Looks like a type5 pot belly stock, Underwood cartouche with description of PU in the slingwell?? Am I blind?

    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.

    Scott,
    Your missing a little more than that.
    Look closely at the receiver in his auction. It's a SERIAL # 13918XX
    Also say's NO IMPORT MARKS
    He doesn't say what year the barrel is.
    Here's your link to his auction again.....look closely at the receiver on the right side back by the recoil plate,
    http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=139096392

    Now look at this past auction where he bought a Underwood SERIAL # 1391...
    That one had a 2-43 barrel IMPORT MARKED. Did he swap out the stock ? Not sure..... You don't get a good view of the bottom or top. If it is the same stock he (the new owner...now the seller above ) might have just darkened it and stamped it. The last seller states that this stock is marked PU in the slingwell. I can see some dings that are very similiar on both.
    But for sure it's at least the same receiver. The bolt has been swapped.
    Link to same receiver,
    http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=137674699

    Can't help but wonder what happened to that IMPORT MARK?
    Maybe ask the new seller what date his Underwood barrel is?

    Have a Good Weekend
    Charlie-painter777

    P.S. Just got a fresh in the wrap RMC trigger.....YEP...it's marked !!!
    thanks for the tip !

    Your welcome Charlie, This guy did have legit carbines, then repo stuff started showing up, just like the other seller Sam-T-Bob.

    Good catch Charlie!

    I'm happy you found the trigger you've been needing.
    What do you have left to go?
