Please someone tell me they have one higher.

Its definitely a rack grade (the inland stock is firewood) and it looks like its been rode hard and put up wet. MW is still only a 2. I have it broken down for cleaning and filling out the data sheet. These pics will have to do for now. I did find some damage inside the chamber, so I will have to get it checked before I can shoot it.

Anyone know where I can get an affordable Winchester stock so I can burn this piece of Inland firewood?
Tired Retired,

I'm envious, I'm still looking for a 7.2-7.3 million Winchester, my highest carbine is a 7.1 million Inland.

I had seen a list a while back of known carbines that showed only two Winchester's with serial numbers higher then yours.
