Need info Win. stock mor pics

Hi looking for some info on a stock that is on a Win. carbine & value of the type 1 hammer in the pics. that I just pick up. Info on the gun. The only parts that are not Win. is the type 6 Inland trigger housing & trigger.The rest is Win. receiver ser.# 57542**,barrel no date, with short skirt, Mag catch type 4 M on the face plus W in front , Safety type 4 rotary there is a W tamped on the arm on top witch looks like an S. The hammer is a type 1 i think will try to put picks up. Now the stock is a M2 I would say pot belly flat bottom with the long barrel channel. No Win. markings but there is a P on the pistol grip. Question could this be a Win. stock. Here is more pics. There is a 4 rivet hand guard looks like a color match for the stock no markings.

Stock does not look to be Winchester. The P is a rebuild proof stamp. Safety is SS in a circle.

It is a potbelly w/M2 cut out, not original to a 5.7 Win

You need to post pics of the stock around the sling cut out, the right side and of the nose. The first pic seems to have a mark on the left side which MAY be from Springfield Armory.

BTW, great quality pictures.

It looks like a nice walnut M2 stock.
I think the rifle is to early to have originaly had that type stock.
Does it have a handguard?
How about some close ups of the front of the barrel band? Thanks.....Frank

I put more pics. I know the stock is not for that ser.# I'm just triyng to find out if this could be a Win. stock . There is not much of a pot belly to it compered to the other M2 stock I got .

Great pictures, they zoomed really good. It is not a Winchester stock, not even a very late production - sorry. I was hoping that it was a Springfield Armory since they made some really great shooter M-2 stocks. I thought there was the remnants of an "A" on the left side of the nose, but I really can not tell from the pics. You may want to inspect the left side of nose area by trying different light angles.

Hope that helps.

What marking is on that hammer?
If it's real and a hard to find one. You might have something there you could trade for a correct WRA hammer for your carbine........... plus get a correct WRA stock.

I would say hammer is a type 1 . Marking W .083 high maybe a little higher cheap caliper & NOT a white sewing machine.

Is the type 4 mag catch right for this serial no?????

No it would need a type 3 mag catch . The same for the safety a type 3. The type 4 mag catch & safety all have a W stamped on them.

I would say no it would need a type 3 mag catch the same goes for the safety .

Would any one know the value of the type 1 Win. hammer

Right, type 3 safety and type 3 mag catch with EW or W on both. The stocks for that gun are out there, but finding a nice one is the trick. By the way, my serial number is very close to yours, probably made at the same time. Does anyone know what the correct rear sight for that Winchester serial range would be? Mine has the type two on it, but I know the change over was about in the time frame. Thanks !

My ser.# 5754231 is around Nov. 1944 . I think the milled rear sight started in the lat fall of 44. I gues I could use the type 1 or type 2 rear sight.

The barrel band looks to me to be a Winchester type 2.

Band would be for Win. no markings.

I believe you'd want to use either a type 1 or type 3 (stamped) rear sight as the milled ones didn't start showing up until around the 6.5 million serial number range.
HTH

I think your butt plate is QHMC. I have a Type 2 Winchester trigger I'll trade you for that hammer. :D


edit: Butt plate is probably NPM

Thanks for the offer but I got 3 Win. trggers .
