Note, type 1A receiver, early dogleg hammer, early safety, early unmarked stock and handguard, early boxed WRA/GHD, high wood "I" cut stock, early spring tube, type 1 band, seems 100% legit. I got it at the Big E show today.
If you look at the many pics, ignore the 03-A3 front sight pic, its for another forum.

Thankyou for looking, Andy
Awesome Andy!
Loved the slide show with all the detailed photos.
Great presentation Andy!! That's quite a nice early Winchester, Sir.

And what is something like that going for now a days?
I especially like the old petrified crud that you can still see in some of the nooks and crannies. It verifies the age and the lack of being "messed with".

What a beautiful rifle! I am completely ignorant of Carbines. But I enjoyed looking at your pictures. Sincerely. BruceV
I traded an M1D, and a late 1944 WRA carbine, with correct, oddball front band, that needed explaining, not text book.

You traded the 5.7? I liked the 6.56 better. Hopefully you can get all that dried cosmoline off of it.
Congratulations and nice meeting you on Saturday.
I went home with two type 1 firing pins and three of the early conical extractor plungers. Not really sure why I collect this stuff. It's probably a lot like crows and shiny objects.
Yes Chris, I kept the later, darker stocked WRA...nice to meet you too..and seeing Bill Ricca and George again, as well
