I have a Winchester Serial No. 5,757,XXX that came with a Type III "C" marked bayonet lug on it. It looks to be original to the rifle but looking at different references it would appear that it would be too early for a bayonet lug and should have a Type II band.

Would this serial number be considered late 1944 production?

Thanks for the input.
