Receiver manufactured in late 1943 as a part of the third production block from National Postal Meter (serial number range from 4,075,010 to 4,432,099) produced from November 1943 to June 1944. "8-43" dated Underwood supplied barrel with an importer mark on the underside, unmarked front sight, "I.R.CO." marked type III adjustable peep rear sight, "MMQ" type III barrel band with "EM-Q" bayonet lug, "A.I." parkerized round-top bolt, "DA-Q" type I operating rod, along with a "N/9" milled trigger housing with "E.I." type V magazine release, "N" rotary safety, and "IN" type III hammer.

Note: This item features a high-capacity magazine which has a capacity above 10 rounds and cannot be sold or transferred to residents in states where long gun magazine capacity is limited to no more than 10 rounds. Please check your local laws and regulations prior to bidding.

Fine as arsenal refurbished, retaining much of the finish with some minor edge wear, light cycling wear, some light patches of spotting/oxidation focused mostly on the sling swivel and buttplate, and some light handling marks. The stock is also fine as sanded and re-oiled with scattered light handling marks, and a slightly duller appearance at the rear half of the buttstock. Mechanically excellent.
