Winchester extractor question

[mar53]

Indeed, War Baby, references a transfer of 10,000 Underwood extractors to Winchester on 11/9/43. I think Winchester 6.5 M serial was well beyond 1943 However. But who knows, maybe it was lying around in stock and they used it up later in 1945

and it has exactly one non Winchester part; an Underwood recoil plate. Probably from a batch of 5K sent to Win in 11/43. If an original Winchester was to have an Underwood part I think that the later the better is a more likely scenario. Underwood sold a lot of product to Winchester after they closed up.

Whatever you do, don't change it. There is a mirror image Winchester like mine on record with an Underwood RP. These little things are often telling evidence of originality.
