Questions on a WRA 5,673,xxx

[Tired Retired]

Bill, Thats a nice carbine and a GREAT save on the restoration. I like the look of the finish - the natural "aging" process has been good to that receiver. I hope I look that good when I turn 66 years old!

Thanks for sharing it!

It is thought to be original and an identical carbine exists within a few numbers of mine with identical features. It has the Hemphill adj sight, low wood, and type 2 band. I believe it is very safe to assume that there was a mix of flips and adjustable sights used as available when these carbines were built.

Dave, I think this just goes to prove that at this point in manufacturing that it was whatever they grabbed off the shelf and they had a mix of sights.
