I did not say Riesch's incorrect stock information was in a book. I think that still means that Reisch's state ment that the EARLY Underwoods had the "P" still is correct. Underwood made over 800,000 so the Reisch statement that "only early Underwood stocks had the "P" proof is still correct.they went to the Type III after producing only 100,000 carbines.once again the definition of what "early" is comes into the equation.ĭid he mean EARLY meant only a Type I stock? No, It seems he means that of the 100,000 in the first run and then starting at 2,520,000 their second run used the Type III stock (like the one you are referring to) so after they made 100,000 they went on making another 724,000carbines and started that second contract with the Type III stock. Winch produced 350,000 carbines before they went to the Type II so there is a lot of room for "early" production, and these were highwood.

I don't know how Reisch defined "early" in his descriptions and he does not give that description for a DATE of production or a SERIAL NUMBER so we don't know what he meant by that do we? Hey Bill.can you post what book you read that says Reisch's information on stocks is incorrect? Unless it is in a circle, or if it is in a circle it is a serif style. So as described by the poster the P had no circle, so my response is still correct it is an arsenal rebuild stamp. (Under this sentence are FIVE examples of the use of the "P" and one is in a circle and is a serif style) "The rebuild proofs are a different size and style than the proof stamp used during initial production". "Some arsenals stamped a "P" on the forward part of the pistol grip behind the trigger guard". Now again on page 108 he addresses the "P": Inland: intermitent throughout production. The following contractors stamped a 0.50 inch diameter circled "P" proof (sans serif) into the bottm of the pistol grip: Military rifles, not all M1 Carbines had a "P" proof stamped into the stock. Now, accdording to Craig Reisch's bbok on page 77: Pete's response is correct as long as the circle is the correct size and the "P" is a sans serif style, Bill's response is a combination of a couple of the references and is not entirely correct.ġ) the poster said he found a "P" marked in wood on his friend's carbine.Ģ) he did NOT say he found a "P" in a circle, OK? In a rare play with manufacturers markings, Union Switch & Signal placed the manufacturer name UN-QUALITY on the receivers, then sent them to Quality Hardware.Sorry guys, I have to disagree somewhat.

The subcontractor code assigned to Union Switch & Signal was UN.
