    I want to share some photos of the 224 Winchester that Jim Mock sent me, with his permission. As you will see, the 224 Winchester is basically scaled up version of William's Carbine prototype (different than the one actually used in trials and adopted). Strange that Williams, trying to grab more credit than he deserved for the M1icon Carbine, that he didn't claim the 224 Light Rifle, too. It was closer to his Carbine design than any other weapon (except Winchester G30- his design). Jim shares some interest in the .224 Winchester Light Rifle, especially as its foundations with Williams designs. Jim got the pictures at the Cody Museum. Thanks Jim.

    As I said, the following are his pictures that I am sharing with his express permission. If you re-post, please give Jim the Photo credits.
