Liberium, I think that you should closely compare the flash hider that you have to the one I pictured above. The one above is a replica FH that has been stamped with a .U. to make it appear that it was manufactured by Underwood. What markings are on your flash hider? For more information on legitimate USGI flash hiders see link below.

Since it is the Sunday Funnies thread, I think clicked the play button at least 10 times before it dawned on me.

I guess that is a screen shot of a video?

I'm having some serious range envy right now.

Hickok45 uses a slip on recoil pad. He's a big guy, I think 6'9".





Otherwise the rest of the stock looks okay...sorta.

Someone with long arms wanted a longer stock. Guess it was cheap enough back in the day

OK, not Sunday but there might be some issues with this "Underwood" Flash Hider? Bad thing is someone has actually bid on it!

You got two. 
Tooling hole changed over time so a good observation. 
What else?

Should have a rear bevel
Never saw a tooling notch on the front have that looked like that. Not sure if it was done with a cutting torch or a rough file, not even close to right.
Believe the tooling hole in the back should have a bevel on the outside of the hole.

This decent case M4 was on ebay recently. Judging by the title and description the seller may fall in the "Are these people really that stupid" category.

"RARE WWII French Foreign Legion Stamped US WR Case M4 Fighting Knife M8A1 Sheath"
"This bayonet/fighting knife is an extremely unique and rare example. It bears the stamp of what appears to be the logo of the French Foreign Legion on the underside of the handle guard and the M4 CASE Stamp on the reverse"
