Gents, I am a Garand guy, not a carbine guy but I picked up what I think might be a rare Carbine. The receiver is marked Underwood, but all the parts are Winchester. The rear heel is marked WTA in capitol letters, but the serial number is not lined out? Ive heard of Lineouts but not ones that arent... Is it very rare? About how much are they worth??? (I know that is a very broad question...) :dunno:
Thanks...
On cmp auctions they being a lot. Am guessing 1000-2000 on Gunbroker
Phrogpilot,
See the thread on this site from 03/06/2010 from Morfred. Describes what you have.
It was the name that was usually lined out, not the serial number. Often they got through with the name unmolested. The WA is the Winchester marking. The T is Intertype Corp. who made the receiver for Underwood. Personally, I would call them scarce, rather than rare.
Gents, decided to make this carbine available on GB.

There goes your chances of being a carbine guy!
I'm being told that the best thing to do when I get a carbine is SELL IT! Carbines are irreversibly addicting!!!
Don't we all know that.Quote:
