    Early Underwood stock mising CC??

    How often do early Underwoods show up without a CC?

    This one doesnt seem to show any reminants of having one. Picked it up in a two gun lot at RIA last week..

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.

    I don't remember how long they didn't use it but it was long enough that the ones with no CC do show up quite a bit. Obviously most have been rebuilt and cut down, but you do see them.

    Mine is SN 1422508, about 23,000 later than yours, type 2 stock, no CC. Is your stock type 1? All my parts are .U. marked

    It is a Type 2 oval cut highwood stock, thanks for the pics of other stocks without the CC, I guess it is a fairly common occurance on these. All parts on this 1.39 are U marked except the handguard.

    i seen that, an RMC marked handguard would be correct for a 1.39 mil underwood, as long as its a deep groove

    It is missing the Ordnance stamp. The Cartouche is there on both of them.
