Two New Cmp Win. Lineouts--Question?

**morfred** · 03-08-2010 08:06 PM

I just got two Win. marked WTA. Serial # 24022xx and 24038xx. One has an Inland 9-43 barrel and the other has an Underwood 8-43 barrel. Is it safe to assume that these are not the original barrels? Most other parts are Winchester. Also, I cannot tell if "Underwood" is lined out. How can I see under the sight. I am real new at this and I am just trying to find out what I have. Rarity, collectability. value. I appreciate any help you folks can give me. I do not want to shoot something if it is something special. I would rather get another carbine. Thanks Bill

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.

Seems to me that CMP icon

has been letting several carbines go on luck of the draw instead of auction in this last batch... Could it be that they have so many "specials" that they are raising the bar on what gets auction? Or is it a case where there is so much backed up to auction that it won't be gone by the time CMP gets out of the carbine "busness"?

Just a reflection....

As they say in the NFL "On further review" the Underwood name is not lined out on either one.
