Underwood Flash Hider
I see an Underwood Flash Hider on ebay. It's up to $107. I am way out of the loop on current prices but that seems a bit high to me. Is that the going price now? What's the Recoil Check selling for?

Made for the M2. $74.35 for an original from Gunparts. $37.25 for a parkerized reproduction. Same price for a muzzle brake style.
Don't think Underwood had anything to do with 'em though.
Spelling and Grammar count!

Sunray,
You are correct. The U manufacturer in one of my references says unknown maker. The S A was Springfield Armory.
I guess I'm just used to U being Underwood and had a brain fart.

You original statement that it is Underwood is correct.

Thanks Bill.
Ruth's first book, (1979) says unknown maker. Other books say Underwood for the flash hider and recoil check marked .U.
I wasn't 100% sure, so put in the disclaimer.
I have 2 .U. and 1 SA flash hiders. 1 .U. recoil check. Is either marking more desirable then the other. I perfer the .U. verses the SA.

SA made fewer than Underwood.
I have an Underwood M1 Recoil Check, new in box, dated 1952. The Underwood is quite common. The scarcer one is NLD.

I have one and I am very sure it is a reproduction. Has the usual wording and an F in a circle.

That might be a Ferro Machine made for a State Department Contract. The Ferros were also reproed.
