    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Jim

    SA made fewer than Underwood.

    I have an Underwood M1icon Recoil Check, new in box, dated 1952. The Underwood is quite common. The scarcer one is NLD.

  10. Thank You to Bill Ricca For This Useful Post:

    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.
