Barrel Band Question

**r3126** · 08-31-2010 04:36 PM

Got one of the last few Underwoods that CMP icon

sent out. Turns out it was an Austrian LGKV marked rifle. The Type II barrel band is marked JM Q. Can't find info on it. Can someone comment on it - subcontractor, what production guns it would be correct for, etc. Was it particular to the Bavarian/Austrian guns, only?

It appears to be in excellent condition with the exception of the upper hand guard. It has the deep, almost black, finish that (I read somewhere) was put on the Bavarian/Austrian rifles. Any one care to comment on the finish?

Thanks in advance.

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.

If it is marked JM Q it is a cut down T3 or bayonet lug band.
If I remember correctly it was made by J.M. Mueller for Quality Hardware on a spare parts contract. Not 100% sure on the name of Mueller, but it sounds right off my head.

Yep, a cut down type 3

And yes on your identification too.

Yes, the Bavarians and Austrians cut down a lot of type 3 bands.
