    New find

    Went to the candy store sat. picked a rack grade Inland just for the stock.(Q-RMC). I took the rear sight off and it was a line out with .U. and flaming bomb.
    Barrel is 6-44 underwood with E.U. front sight. Would you think this is correct
    barrel? I will have pictures in a little while.

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    A 6-44 barrel indicates that it is a replacement barrel. Underwood stopped carbine production two months before the barrel was made and Inland never used Underwood barrels as they made their own. What is the serial number on the receiver. Someone can give you an idea of when it was made and what would be a correct barrel date.

    Yes, wrong barrel. no big deal. UEF did not make any rifles in june 44.
    Here is a photo,
    I have been told Nov-Dec 43 a batch of receivers from Inland were transfered, maybe there was a earlier batch.

    More like June 30, 1943 to September 2, 1943. Inland sent about 14000 receivers to Underwood during this time frame. About August 1943 for your serial number. hth
