2 Carbines Today + Extras

[painter777]

Picked up 2 carbines this morning. Had some info about them E-mailed to me along with a few misc pictures and made a offer. Seller said come get em. Gave them more than my offer after seeing both had real C tip slings.
Tear down and ID will have to be tomorrow, but from what I can see from the outside....

Underwood 2,4 mil with W coded receiver in a very nice SA stock. Underwood barrel dated 12-43. Round bolt still blue, AMCO bayo band, RIA frt sight, H in the shield Type II rear sight and a original finish PM-IP buttplate. Thinking housing might be a late Inland, possible M2 version. Flip safety and Type III HI magcatch.

Inland 5,2 mil with Inland barrel dated 5-44. Type I frt sight marked N, Type II barrel band marked //. Rear sight type II with HI marking. Parked flat bolt. Looks to be a complete WRA housing with "EW" safety and what I believe is a Type IIA Magcatch marked with the punch mark and W on a frt tooth... Please see picture. Nice looking WRA over GHD and partial CC on the stock. No cracks or repairs. Also minus any rebuild stamps except the letter A stamped on the frt of the pistol grip.

Some pictures for now, let you know more later.

OH, Also was given these mag pouches and 6-15rd and 1-30rd mag (marked M2, thinking commercial) right?
Does anyone know anything about this hat they gave me?
The Insignia?
Is it called a Tropical? Very light weight.

Thx,

Stock on the Inland,


WRA Trigger Housing on the Inland.
Too late here to dig out another carbine to look for a Type IIA magcatch.
Isn't this a Type IIA catch?




The Hat,
