    It's all getting to be a bit of a problem Marcus/David. I've bought 3 x M1icon's lately and all the internals have been M2, except there was no selector switch. Must have been some persons way of "legalising" them ? Mike.

    This one was obviously removed in an attempt to hide the fact it's an M2. But with the grinding of the serial number and receiver ring the point was moot.

    I really like the late era M2 parts. They represent the "final" refinements and appear to be overbuilt. If I were to have to use my carbines, it would be one of the late Winchesters. It sure would be nice not to have to worry about an M2 receiver in NZicon. Cheers Mikey.
