What do you guys think of this one. Rebuild parts but I think SN falls within spring tube type, but I am new to all this, still learning unless I can have Rifle on the table with my books I get mixed up ,maybe just to old.
Thanks

Guns For Sale - Winchester -- M1icon CARBINE-April,1943-WWII
Winchester M1 Carbine-Serial #1088xxx (April/1943). RECEIVER is a type 4(recoil spring is inserted in a removable tube). It has what remains of the original finish. No rust. Good condition. REAR SIGHT is a Winchester milled style with a logo of a shield with an ‘H’. The BOLT is the late style (round) with a ’D’ stamp. This bolt is a new replacement. The BARREL looks like to could be original to the receiver. The portion not covered by the stock definitely shows that it served its time as it was intended to do. That area has been touched-up some, but is well done. It is stamped in the appropriate area with a ’W’. The Muzzle Wear (MW) is an impressive 1.0 and its bore is nice and bright. Headspace is excellent. The FRONT SIGHT is stamped with an ’EU” (Underwood). The BAYONET LUG is of the late style. TRIGGER HOUSING ASSEMBLY has a Winchester housing with a ’W’ and an ’o’, trigger is stamped ’RIA’(Rock Island Arsenal), hammer is stamped ’W’, safety is the late, flip handle style, magazine catch is of last style (enhanced to prevent the magazine from freely dropping out of chamber) and is stamped ‘ M ‘. The magazine is stamped ’AI” on the edge. STOCK is the low-wood M2 style. The sling opening is the oval-cut style. There is an ‘IO’ in the sling well, ‘P’ under the pistol grip, and an ‘RIA-1’ on the bottom of grip. The HAND GUARD is stamped ‘RSG’ and is a good color match to the stock.
