NPM Carbines and Umderwood parts

[martin08]

I bought it from the daughter of a recently deceased Korean War Army Veteran. Her statement was that her dad came home from the war and hung it on the den wall, and it didn't come down until last week.

It did have about a ten year window from DOM to date of return, so there is a chance that something could have been changed out. But the condition just screams, "As-issued".

There is a little pitting on the bolt face, so it is not un-fired since issue. But it saw no hard service, nor any apparent post-WWI upgrades.

No way I'll challenge that statement. My only point was here's what we saw for available carbines back in the '70's, all unchanged from issue and having been through two wars. So much for the mentioned parts being standard and all guns changed over for Korea...lots of as issued stuff carried on into RVN...and central America, South America...

Anyway, nice carbine.
