Nice 5.7 Winchester on gunbroker
Not mine. It looks to be correct and in really good shape, though not as nice as mine!

It seems odd to me that they would picture it in the auction with the rear sight removed - don't understand why they would do that. If it's "all Winchester original," why show it as being "monkeyed with?" - Bob

Bob, that was the first thing I thought as well. It does look the part but that sight removal is hokey.

Ha! I missed that! It is strange, though.

I thought they were doing it so as to clearly reveal manufacturer and serial #...but, I wouldn't do it.

I bought an Underwood carbine years ago and the gun shop owner hammered the rear sight out so he could see the serial number. I was furious!

Hokey, I haven't heard that in a while. Showing your age there Bill.
Hopefully they hammered the sight off in the correct direction.

I see three problems with it to start. The hammer, the front sight and the repo safety.

Agree with the WU hammer and front sight. Why do you say it is a repo safety?

Photo#10 that sure doesn't look like a type two Winchester band. May be a cut down three as he's not showing the front and the sight has been off.
