This seems to be a "mixmaster", the slide is a Colt but the serial # 857694and the FJA = Frank J. Atwood, inspectors mark make the receiver an Ithaca.








Underwood M1 Carbine.
Another battlefield leftover mixmaster.




Serial# 2463788 with flip sight.




Early type operating slide but a "new manufacture" bolt. Two rivet handguard.




Uncheckered push type safety, marked "EW" and old type "short face" magazine catch.




Underwood barrel marked 3-44.




The stock is a potbelly, low-wood. I only found the IO/OI marking in the slingwell which makes it a S.E. Overton South Haven, MI stock, those were only fitted to Inland carbines. I guess it is a replacement stock.




And the crossed canons eskucheon. No inspectors stamp and no P.

I picked this up at a gun show last Saturday. It's a No4 MKI. All the numbers match including the magazine but the bolt is a forced match. When I bought it, it had some very flaky black paint that was growing rust underneath it so I removed it. Some of it can be seen in the photo of the barrel end, I took that one before I cleaned it up. As it was on the magazine too, the consensus was it was not the original paint. This completes my set of the three major type Enfields of WWII, SMLE MKIII*, No4 and No5 Jungle Carbine.
