**shadycon** · 07-01-2009 09:11 AM

My Std Prd with Underwood barrel '2-44' has site marked TR on front. Who made this site and is it correct for this carbine? And it is straight up!

Thanks GK

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.

War Baby shows a TR front sight for Rock-Ola

Made by: Taylor Freezer Co. Beloit, Wisconsin

War Baby page 370 also says Underwood used a TR front sight in mixed use approxomately SN 1353XXX through 1359XXX

But under the wartime contractors for Underwood, page 374, it is not listed.

Most of the time if a bayonet lug style barrel band has been added to the carbine, the front sight is not original. Sometimes the late bands were swapped out one at a time. A lot of the time it was more like assembly line production. A large group of had carbines had the front sight removed. The new style barrel band was put on and front sights from a large bucket of front sights were placed back on the carbine. I seriously doubt the "TR" front sight is original to your carbine. I would go with a milled (type 1) front sight marked with an "N". The "TR" front sight is great trading material.
