Would anyone be interested in seeing a few more pics of a 1.9. Posted them a couple of years ago. Don't want to bore the forum ? Mike.

Mike,

Anyone that would be bored looking at carbine pictures should get a new hobby.

I'm on the other end of serial number block 2238359 Underwood barrel date 3-44. According to the CC newsletter #366 the highest number they have reported is 2238554. I don't believe mine is completely oringial but the parts match the serial number breaks in the newsletter. I also have 2151XXX.

Will arrange ! I'll have to sort through a box and find the right "floppy discs". They have to be somewhere ! Good to see a bunch of Marines are coming here to celebrate a 70th anniversary and that they are going to set up another/bigger base in Darwin, just across the water from me. All good news. Mike.

Here's a start Harlan. I'm trying to figure out what came first, the S J or the SH B. Or were they all mixed up as usual ? You heard from Painter lately ?. Mike.

Mike,

War Baby show the type one "I" cut stock high wood as having been marked SJ early production, with the type two "Oval" cut high wood marked SJ or S-HB used through 1943. Low wood used late 1943 through the end of production.
I have a 2,175,176 with an oval low wood, marked S-HB.

Sorry folks but I can't find all my original pics of that one, damn it ! Will take some more when I get the Carbine out of storage. Here's the only others I can find at the moment. If any one wants to follow up on this one the Club have a data sheet on it. I can't remember if it's 100% or not but I know it's pretty close. Mike.
