U.S. M1A1 Paratrooper-Style Carbine By Underwood
serial #2817235, 30 Carbine, 18'' 1-44 dated Underwood barrel with a bright near excellent bore showing only a couple small spots of light oxidation or pitting, but strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces retain about 90% arsenal gray-green Parkerized finish with light to moderate wear on high edges and contact points, the receiver ring worn to a gray-brown patina, a few light handling mark and spots of oxidation, and some mild toning to brown. The M1A1 walnut stock with 4-rivet handguard is in near excellent condition and a quality modern reproduction, showing only a tiny flake at the corner of the recoil plate cover and a few quite minor dings and handling marks, the buttplate toning to plum brown. The stock metal otherwise retains strong blue with some light handling marks and a spot of mild oxidation, and the brown leather cheekpiece shows a small scuff of black and bright rivets. The stock is unmarked, the buttplate devoid of the cast-in drawing number found on originals, however the forend shows some attractive grain figure beginning. The receiver markings are intact and crisp, the barrel date somewhat softened but still legible, and all the marked parts appear to be of proper Underwood origin. The carbine features a stamped adjustable rear sight, round bolt, rotary safety, and a Type III barrel band with bayonet lug. Included is a canvas carry bag, two 15-round magazines showing fouling around their tops, a double mag pouch, and a M3 flash hider. An all Underwood carbine configured as those employed by airborne paratroopers. (14A11810-27) {C&R} (1800/2200)
