I have an underwood bavarian carbine given to the forestry dept. I purchased it from the CMP when they had the last batch in the South Store maybe 8 to 10 years ago. It has a barrel with no stamping or other marks on it. It guages less than one so it's been fired very little. Looks like a high quality barrel. Someone suggested to me that maybe erma made some for the bavariain carbines while they were in use there. Does anyone know about this ?

Many of these were polished and blued. Many times the markings became unreadable.
What make is the receiver, are all the other parts correct to the receiver?
Can you take it out of stock, remove slide and take a few pics of the gas chamber, this will narrow down what you have

It is an Underwood all the parts are not underwood it has a M2 stock. I will get it apart and post some pics. I'll have to get one of my son's to teach me how to do the pictures, not very good with computers guess I'll have to learn. I'll get back. Thanks for the response. It was given to the forestry dept. after the war. That is stamped on it as well and the area it went to.
