New Years Day Early Part Quiz

Ah Hell! It's an "S"! I couldn't tell until I zoomed in! Ah CRAPOLA! It the follower then.

I still stand by my first post, its the follower slide as it doesnt have the cut out or bevel that SA does unless its hid by the shadow in the pic

stock

First valve type G.C. lock screw was constructed with a carbon steel spring. The spring was changed to stainless steel and the face of lock screw was marked with the letter "S". A pretty rare lock screw.

I retract my first guess .

stock could be either, pure guess (swag) as Winchester only because of the rough channel
safety SA- gas trap safety but interestingly enough found in *****WRA 100,001*****
follower & slide, SA only, I don't think that Winchester ever used a 15 deg. slide
lock screw, could be either, was made for use of grenade launchers
bolts, have seen rough machining on both SA and WRA bolts

Correct answer is the safety which is the small letter & numbered Winchester safety only found in the early Winchesters. The early Winchester bullet guide is also without the W.R.A. behind the drawing number too.

Thanks for the quiz. Very helpful info.

How do you distinguish between the SA and early WRA B8875 bullet guide ?

Please keep these going. :)

Completely different font on the WRA compared to the SA. Below is a comparison. Rick B
