Saginaw ?

[Maniac]

I just purchased a 30 Cal carbine and am trying to find out just what it is. I can"t read the name under the rear sight, and do not know how to remove it... The serial # is 18333xx and it has an Underwood barrel. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

p.s. I am new to carbines

Judging from the serial number you posted and the fact it has an Underwood barrel, I'd say you have a Saginaw S'G' carbine. The first Irwin-Pederson/S'G' serial number range ran from 1,762,520 to 1,875,039. I'm guessing the barrel is dated 8-43 or 9-43?
Hope this helps . . .

PS Sorry for the redundancy, I thought I was the 3rd poster! Am I close on the barrel date?
