U.S. Underwood M1 Carbine .30 carbine (R42038) CONSIGNMENT

Serial No. 2791614, late 1943, .30 carbine, 18" round I.B.M. marked barrel, bore is excellent with strong rifling. Although this carbine was built during the Second World War, its factory parts configuration was changed by a post-war rebuild. It is now equipped with a stamped adjustable rear sight assembly, a Type III bayonet lug barrel band, a flip safety & an M2 stock. Stock is in very good light handling marks visible, what makes this stock unique is the "FAT69" inspection cartouche visible on the left side. This is a U.S. made stock for the M2 carbine that was issued to the Italian military during the 1960's & that is why it was inspected by the Terni Arsenal in 1969. Action is smooth & functions correctly. Consignment
