I recently traded for an M1icon carbine and it looks like a typical "mix master." It has a Winchester reciever with serial number 1113186. The barrel is an Underwood dated 7-44. The rest of the parts are from many different manufacturers. Someone told me that some winchester/underwood guns were that way from the factory but that sounded kind of strange to me. Does anyone know anything about this or if there is any truth to that? Also is there a way to date the reciever by the serial number?

Thanks
Matt
