Hi guys,

I have the opportunity to purchase a .30 carbine from a friend of mine. Her father collected some military arms (about 20). He recently died and she is in possession of them. The only one that I am interested in is the carbine. My dad carried one in New Guinea and the Philippines during WWII and have always thought that it would be nice way to remember his service. In any case, I know next to nothing about these weapons, the more I read on your forum, the more I realize that I am out of my element here.

Here is the photobucket link with a collection of pics that I took of the rifle.

Specifically, it has Rockola stamped on the barrel near the end and on the barrel near the receiver.
The serial number is 5640289 with Winchester stamped just above the number.
The bottom of the safety lever has H.T. stamped on the lever.
The bottom of the receiver is stamped with a 4 and G.
The stock appears to be some sort of replacement. It looks too good, but that is just my observation.

I am trying to establish an approximate value for the rifle, so that I can offer a reasonable price to my friend, but at the same time not pay too much.
I can take more (or try to take better) pictures, if that is necessary.

Thanks in advance,
Tom
