Underwood Carbine questions

**sakorick** · 10-07-2010 07:01 PM

I purchased this Underwood Carbine for $600 and have no clue what I bought. It is a Bavarian Forestry Police marked carbine with what looks like Austrian marks too. It has a nice stock and all parts appear to be U marked. Your input appreciated. Regards, Rick.

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.

It is mostly Underwood with later rebuilt parts. Do a google on Bavarian carbines. Sorry I can't find the link to Jim Mock's site. If your stock has no rebuild stamps on it, It would sell for $250.00 by itself. Bavarian carbines are very good carbines well taked care of.

The Carbines

Thanks Phil. The link was outstanding! My carbine served with the Bavarian Forest Service and the Austrian Police in Tirol. A great piece of history with these. Regards, Rick.

sakorick,

You should also check out Jim's site about commercial carbines. Just a few years ago most aspects of the commercial carbines seemed a mystery, and most things I was told turned out to be wrong.
I bought two .22 carbines for my (then) young son, and became interested of their history but back then could find anything.

Jim did some unbelievable research to compile this info. (It's Phenomenal!)
He's also spent a small fortune buying commercial carbines, etc just to compile all the info. I get so caught up reading the interesting and sometimes colorful stories of the companies who made these I have spent an hour at a time hooked!

Jim is working with Ruth on WARBABY III. Does anyone know the status of WB III or any other updates?

Really nice example of both an Underwood and a Bavarian. You did very well with the price too, provided the muzzle wear is okay. Is there an Intrac mark on the barrel, or is she a CMP icon

? That would give you an idea when it came back to the states (first batch went to Intrac in the 90s, the others were for sale by CMP in the last year).

I just built an Underwood B code rifle up from a barreled receiver. Can't beat a typewriter carbine!
