Early 1941 Winchester receiver with hole in top
Photos show a early Winchester rifle that was machined too close resulting in a hole in the top under the rear sight cover area. Billy Pyle once told me that he found a 1941 Springfield receiver with the same type of hole.
This type of machining error would not really weaken the receiver and you have to wonder ifAttachment 126787Attachment 126788Attachment 126789Attachment 126790 during war time such receivers might have been allowed to pass inspection ?
