Type 1 safeties

[dbarn]

Hey Charlie, glad to see you back. Your safety looks very much like the Winchester below.

Top photo: Inland 18xxx

Bottom: Winchester 1014xxx

From these two photos, it would appear that Winchester has a more pronounced bevel.

I am no expert but here's what 96XXX looks like, it's an Ok Carbine but has seen a few battles ! I'll be keeping this one even if I sell a few of the others. Mike.

My understanding is the Inland has a substantial bevel where the Winchester has a slightly noticeable bevel.

Winchester serial #1075569

[Bill Hollinger]

If I read this right the safety Charlie posted is an Inland???

Here is mine. Serial 10138xx, dated barrel 12-42.....Frank

Frank, from what I see in your photos your safety is the same safety as mine. Thanks

PS, did you find a 22 coil spring?

[frankderrico]

Hi Bill, I had to go check the data sheet. Yes 22 coil hammer spring.
Looks like your's and mine have the same mag release. Mine and David's are only about 300 apart.
Dave does yours have a dated barrel?

Regards.....Frank

[Bill Hollinger]

There is not a date on mine. Only a "W" and the WP in an oval. This has puzzled me because I thought the undated barrels were later.

[frankderrico]

I beleive dated barrels were not the norm for Winchester. Mine also has the W and WP, so alot going on with my barrel.
I'm off to the Katarte school, Back later.....Frank

'pronounced bevel' on Inland and Rock-ola, only a 'slight chamfer' on Winchester. Very good side by side photo on P. 91 (5th Ed.). I know everybody has a copy! FWIW
