Hello All: What is the consensus for the s/n # of beginning use of oval cut highwood stocks for Winchester carbines? Ruth War Baby mentions the usage but is not giving a s/n range, if I read it...

rpw7351, I think you are right, at least from what I am seeing. I have not been at this as long as many on the forum (only 5/6 years). There are a lot of people looking through the reference books,...

Update: I looked at the front sight, it had grease/dirt built up in the left side recess where the pin is. After removing that, from what I can see the staking is covering the pin, so I don't think...

Hi, I am enjoying the forum after not having been on it a while. I thought I'd ask this question to see what we'd get. Just for fun. It might be interesting too!

After I placed this in...

That happened to me too, I traveled from St Louis to Springfield MO, to go get a 'Rock Ola' carbine, only to find when I got there it was a Quality Hardware with a rock ola barrel and a rock ola ...

Okay last point. Take a look at the staking on the left side of the sight. I think that is the side in which you'd hammer the pin out and in. Does it look like the staking has been disturbed? If...

There are no scratches on the barrel beyond the sight, there is a push mark or rub mark on the barrel behind the sight. There are a bunch of scratches on top of the barrel behind the sight under the...

Here are some more pictures, this may illustrate the front sight, op slide, and trigger housing better. Deldriver, the Op Slide number is 7161843.

Hi Deldriver! Thanks, I am going to get a picture of the slide bottom to post. It does have a number on the bottom...I believe it's the type VI number per Reisch's book, but can't remember that...

Also for your thoughts/comments: S/N is 6,561,xxx... Barrel: marked 7 on top, has flaming bomb mark on side of gas piston, has winchester proof mark. Bayonet lug is marked with the Diamond D, and...

When I get the carbine I'll take a few pictures of it and post them. Thanks !

Hello: I recently purchased a Winchester carbine. S/N 6,5xx,xxx. I has a bayonet lug on it, marked Diamond D (Donaldson?). Ruth, Reisch books show the correct marking to be 'C'. Could a diamond...

Also look at the hammer very carefully. Sharp edges, the mark seems off too? Staining on both outer sides, which does not continue over onto shiny new edge of hammer...then the mag catch too. Does...

Hi: Have been traveling and not looking much here recently, and I owe a post. However, hope I don't offend anyone, but these kinds of posts on this topic need to be pulled immediately from this...

Thanks Mike! Now that M2 marking on the side of the receiver. Logically, looking at your picture, it has to be that the M and the 2 were maybe held in a fixture, but not all one piece. This is...

I think they see the leaf as humped but the base real. But I might be wrong about that...

The oiler is in there upside-down too, right?

You are right! Took a look. The bolt - marking on the lug is identical to the mark on the IP bolt on the IP that I have...and the '2' op slide mark. Interesting!

Hello All: see this E-Bay auction:

Authentic US WW2 Irwin Pedersen M1 Carbine Flip Sight | eBay

Oftentimes, I've thought to myself how much money I spend on this hobby. Well...

Enough...

Thanks all for the comments. As soon as I get a chance I'll take down the bolt and put up pictures of it, firing pin both sides, etc. And here's another picture of the stock recess where I think I...

Thanks Mannparks, Mike, Bruce. This is exactly what I was hoping for, I knew you guys would dig in and we would all notice or learn something new. This is interesting about the t-housings. I can't...

Sixth, Stock related pictures....the handguard has no markings. That's a chink, dink, or chunk in the wood.
