I have a Winchester 1943 that has a 1956 sa barrel and overton stock. Most WWII rifles were well...

the seller did say that the bold had surface rust when he got it from his grandfather after he passed away, I I assume he cleaned/buffed it

I do not see any electro-pencil etching on the parts, the bolt Number matches the Rifle

the Stock is a AVT-40 (Full Auto) Stock so I am sure there was some refurb proccess

You like.. that hammer is also blued to match the rifles..
The glass is actually polycarbonate so its break resistant. I was showing someone that I can hit it with a hammer and it wont break.

I picked up a 1943 M1 Carbine, National Postal Meter with a Buffalo Arms Barrel dated 11-43.
the Rifle had been arsonal rebuilt (notice the bayonet lug) not standard in 43; More of a post war...

Yes, the bayonet is a korean era, it belongs to my 1954 HRA,
What is cool is that a WWII rifle that has its origional barrel with low readings.

All origional 1945 Springfield M1 even the barrel is origional

avk 77 41 bys

avk = Ruhrstahl AG, Brackwede-Bielefel
77 = ??
41 = Year
bys = Ruhrstahl AG, Guss-stahlwerk, Witten

No, he did not, I never knew what it was until someone pointed it out. I thought that it may have been a partial stamp from capture.

Thanks for the Information..
