    Barrel is 12-43. The U is not stamped in Underwood. Rifle was covered in dried grease when I got it.

    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 ...

    The barrel on my 2.7M is stamped 11-43. I thought maybe it had been changed, but sounds about right when comparing with Jangle's s/n. - Bob

    I found this 2.6 Underwood a couple of years ago at my local gun shop. It had been on the rack there for several years. When I took it apart to clean it, dead bugs fell out. Somebody had also coated it with BLOicon several times. It has now been thoroughly cleaned but not refinished (raw linseed oilicon for the stock). The Underwood barrel has the 2/44 date on it and the receiver has the lightly struck flaming bomb with the "B" stamped over it. It appears that it somehow escaped the post-WW2 refurbishment and still retains the flip sight, flat bolt, push-button safety and type I barrel band. The best part is the gun functions perfectly and is really fun to shoot!

    I have a 235XXXX T code Underwood with the same small punch stake marks on the flip sight. They even caught part of the flip base when it was staked.

    Here's a picture of a 2.37M T Code showing "smaller" stake marks, but not certain of the originality. - Bob

    Nice example of chisel staking.
    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!

    I'm getting away from Underwoods a bit, but here's the rear sight staking on my 1.8M S'G'. Someone "drifted" it a bit to the left, but it shoots good with it there. The base is marked B-IP, but I believe it to be the original. - Bob

    That looks consistent in finish and wear to me too.

    Here's a Line out to U and it's staking.
