$20 investment did very well!
At first I thought it should have a Hi-Wood I cut stock.
Dug some notes out and see WRA used I cut from start of production to as late as ~1,153,591. Oval Stocks came in starting around ~1,067,649 to end of first serial number block. So there was some overlap.
Keep in mind these are old notes....![]()
Also have noted Large Boxed WRA/GHD with CC beside it until ~1,067,649.
Unboxed W.R.A. over G.H.D. with CC beside it starting at ~1,055,513.
So some overlap there also.
About GB 903741425,
The 2 weld spots on the barrel band are some of the most prominent I've ever seen, usually you can barely see them.
Picture #24 (Below) Look at how much extra room there is around the Magcatch.
Wear ? Or possibly worn/weak Spring ?
Safety caught my attention, thinking it should be checkered, but a plain faced Type II would be expected.
Just something about there being No Finish Wear on that Safety. Possibly replaced ?
Really nice honest looking Carbine. I have a number above and below this #. It should make a buyer happy. Speaking of Buyers....... I see some very knowledgeable Bidders going after it. Good Luck to All
Thx arbo34 for the link.
