After sequence "B" Underwood break down

[imarangemaster]

Underwood "B", Serial Number 2659753. Reciever with single stake in front of rear sight bridge. Barrel marked "Underwood" and "12-43" then has ordnance bomb below that and "P" about an inch below that.

Muzzel is great. An M2 30-06 ball round shows at least 3/16 inch, maybe more. It has been a year since I checked it.

Front Sight, Type II with "U" on front face.

Barrel band, Type III with "C" on left side

Rear sight Type II with a shield with an H in it. On the top of the barrel under the handguard is a very small stamp that appears to be possibly a Israeli character and a 4.

trigger housing is an Inland with the inland emblem on its side, no oil hole behind mag catch.

Hammer, Type III with "I-I"
Didn't break down trigger and disconnector
Safety Type IV flip with "EI"
Mag catch type IV with M but no other marking
Recoil spring 10 1/4" long

Bolt Round, worn bluing, no oil hole, marked "OI" or "IO" on lug
Type II ejector, possibly Type II firing pin.

Slide Type V with "PI" inside and "7160091" on bottom

Stock NPM over FJA with 1/2" cannon cartouche in front of it. "TR?" in top edge of sling well. Handguard 4 rivet type with "HI" on edge.
Recoil lug Type III marked "LN" on bottom. Buttplate: ? beat up, I can't tell them apart anyway! Stock has the serial number stamped in the left side infront of the slingwell, with traces of yellowed white paint in the numbers.

Finish and patina on all parts matches very closely, except maybe magazine catch has a little less wear. The bolt is a very worn blue (about 35% finish).

Let me know if I forgot anything.

Shoots like a dream. If I ever find a carbine match in my neck of the woods, I think I will give her a spin.
