Saginaw ?

[Tired Retired]

The foil really works but is not my idea... Picked it up from one of the OLD FARTS in the forums a while back.... I have used on a couple of Saginaws to verify if I had S.G. or S'G'. The foils does an amazing job of showing detail.

Listen to the old farts like BQ - we all can learn a few things....

Just my two cents worth...

Gents I'm not pulling info out of my butt. I took the info from Canfield's book and he says QHMC 1555000-1562519, 1562520-1662519,1675040-1907519,1907520-1937519,4432100-4532099,4632100-4879525 or table 22 in the back of the book. Are you telling me his book is wrong? Has anyone told him that?

In a nut shell, yes it is wrong.

Well, the old aluminum foil and dental floss trick worked!!! The receiver is marked SAGINAW S.G... Do any of you have any idea what the history of this gun is and a value. I was told it was an Underwood , but they were mistaken. It has the adjustable rear sight and a flat bolt. The stock has a mark in the strap cutout that looks like 10 ... Any idea's anyone. Thanks,

No problem BAR. I'm sure he knows but it may be publisher thing. Even old George had his SN list on the infamous Riverbank site.

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?
