Winchester carbine

[DICKX]

I think the receiver, barrel, trigger housing is all winchester but the stock, and the rest has been through a rebuild, as picture of stock is to nice for that serial number. Auction starts at $745.00 and who knows where it will go, it only has 7 hours left but every body is waiting until the last I bet. I emailed the seller and asked about import mark, better picture of barrel and if any rebuild stamps on left side of stock but no answer so that kind of throws up a red flag to me.

PS / Buyer finally got back to me - W - 3" down from front sight, so barrel must te winchester no other stamping on the stock, and the bolt is new with new internals with a letter D stamped at the end of the right lug. He said headspace was ok, Stock must have been sanded at some time to make it look good. No crack's in wood. I asked for slide type & stamping & all he said was Underwood.
Thanks
Dick

Don't forget that if it was rebuilt at an overseas Depot it wouldn't have been stamped as such - also, all of the upgraded parts could have been installed by Field Maintenance.
