My buddy's son tried for a Winchester Fine but was only able to get a good-very good, $1350.00
Veteran US Navy Seabees - US Army Corps of Engineers - American Legion Post 0867

You are lucky you got the tracking number right away, I got the confirmation of order right away but no tracking number yet.
I signed in a 9:00 and went right to the Rock-ola's and at 9:00:15 seconds there were no FINE Rockolas, put the VG-F in the cart and started checkout, and it sat waiting to accept my name and I got booted out of the cart all gone by 9:04
Then went to Quality Hardware and no Fines at 9:05 but snagged a VG-F QH
Ben, same thing happened to me. I was 90% of the way through the purchase process. Only had to click on confirm order and I got hit by a "freeze". Then suddenly my cart was empty. I had a Rock picked out too. I went straight to it right at the opening and zipped through the process. I had everything set and knew exactly what I needed to do. It couldn't have taken 2 minutes..... When it froze, I called their customer service. They didn't help a bit. Said they would make a problem report to IT. That doesn't help one little bit.
When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!
So frustrating, but then I did see a thread on Milsurps that listed the "order" of the carbines, Irwin first, then I thought Rockola but looking at it again it was Quality Hardware Second followed by Rockola so had I noticed that order before I might have tried for the QH rather than the Rockola, BUT I was successful with a VG-F QH, but maybe could have gotten the Fine
I am just learning about M1's here is my Quality Hardware (VG-F) box came through fine, no dents or tears. Seems to be in very nice shape, just a tad of cosmoline under the top handguard and in it.
Serial # 156XXXX
Quality Hardware under adjustable sight
ROCK-OLA barrel dated 2-43
Top handguard marked OI
Stock only marking I could find is a "V" in the receiver well
Square cross hatch on recoil plate
"L" on Trigger group
flat bolt
UI on the barrel band - Type 1
I don't know about the "V" on the stock, but that's a nice "dogleg" Winchester hammer. Look for a faint W on the RH side of the trigger housing near the back. Those are nice pics! - Bob
