Hmmm I see what I thought were two parts maybe three so I'm gonna wait for the answer. If you believe the one we discussed the other day is not a WRA part I can show you photo comparisons to see the differences from SA. I wait patiently for the answer's. Thanks,, Rick B

Without consulting any books, just from knowing that Winchester parts always seem "cruder" than everyone else, my first guess is the right hand bolt in the picture with two bolts. CC

I'll guess the gas lock screw. It appears to me that Winchester used primarily the "P" and "O" or but there is mention of screws used with a punch mark. If I'm looking at the picture right there looks to be a punch mark.

Well I think I can discount the "S" marked lock screw, the saftey and the bolts. I am leaning towards the follower & slide assembly but activley going through Duff's book. If not for the comments by Rick B. I would also have discounted the stock.

I noted the S on the Gas Cylinder Plug - IIRC that is a S.A. non returning type
The follower assy has the steep angle - which says gas trap to me - WIN educational order delivery started in dec 1940 - so I am thinking that this part is also SA
about march of 1940 gas traps were in the 30,000 SN Range
