I picked up a second one a few weeks ago. Once I get two of something I usually look at getting the book for them.

If you mean a 2nd Carbine....
Give us a look when you get the chance........

Ask and you shall receive.

I picked it up in a trade plus cash. Traded an Steyr M95/30 that was all matching, counter bored, and was needing major stock repairs. I thought it would be interesting to have. But I realized it was just taking up room and I was interested in it anymore.

Along comes this carbine. It is not a perfect example but has been drilled and tapped and the original birch stock inletted for a mount. The receiver had been plugged by ground screws that could use a little more grinding down.

Because of the condition it was marked down, plus I only plan to use it as a shooter. Maybe someday I will find the perfect example I am still young enough to after all!

I bought a USGI replacement stock online and replaced the inletted one to be repaired at a later date.

The carbine has a Winchester marked trigger group and has a S.G. barrel on it even though it is a S'G'. I assume there was some parts sharing during the war for the barrel to be plausible.

The rear sight also has an ordnance wheel on the other side. But a previous owner scrawled sensitive information there so no photo is available.

P.S. It also came with a Rock Ola mag.
