Did the seller tell you it was all original or had been restored ?

I was with the seller 40 years ago when he bought it. I thought it was original then and I still do. Scott Duffs WW2 Garand book doesn't have many around this serial number, but of the ones that he has, everything checks out.

early Winchester rifles
I have also been collecting Winchester rifles for quite awhile too
Your example looks very good, what caught my attention was the darker color on the rear of the receiver, sometimes just discoloration or sometimes anneal from rebuild.Attachment 109434Attachment 109435Attachment 109436Attachment 109437

That's one nice rifle. I have no doubt it's original, just has that look...and a hard SN range WRA to find intact. Would very much like to know the serial number. Thanks for sharing. You can omit the last 2 or 3 numbers. My son hopefully still has it's twin he acquired from me which I acquired from an estate. Had to deal with a greedy lawyer who tried to squeeze every penny out of everything the lady had. He pushed for 4 and I negotiated him down to 3750 when I showed him the cash. I had to buy the bayonet, ammo can, other accessories, and M1907 that I knew should of came with the rifle in a separate deal. I generally do not dislike people in a profession, but lawyers come close...at least the ones I have dealt with. M
