Attention New Members and those new registering! We had a lot of problems with spammers and bot attacks with the stock measures provided by the software. The 7 for registration was a fix that we came up with on our own that has worked quite well. Yes it is a PIA for both you and administration to put you onto your chosen username. If you come back on and your login does not work retry with your username without the 7. Thanks for joining us from the administration.

My Dad acquired this carbine from an individual (not DCM) in the 1950s:

Top of receiver:

. . . and a Saginaw marked push button safety:

The front sight, barrel (dated 8-43), . . .

. . . receiver (s/n dates it as February 1944 and the recoil plate is unmarked), . . .

. . . and stock are all marked Underwood (the U in the sling relief was double stamped making it difficult to read in the photo):

The rear sight is a late issue stamped unit manufactured by International Register Co.:

The only other stamping on the wood is the U.S.Army Ordnance Symbol located on the left side of the buttstock:

The bottom of the trigger guard assembly is marked with a 0:

I am curious to know if anyone has a similar "hybrid" carbine with a mix of early and late parts without an arsenal or depot "stamping".
