Winchester 5827xxx Pic's

what is the 248 stamp for??

WRA stocks are often found with a number/letter stamped on the stock's bridge.
Sometimes also on the inner right shelf.
Thoughts are it could be a Inspection,shift or station marking.

I don't recall ever seeing a X on a WRA bolt lug before..... Maybe added by someone knowing it was a perfect fit (?)

BTW, I have WRA 5,811,227 with Flat bolt and type II barrel band. But no lube/drain hole on the trigger housing.
Every WRA I own shows marks in the finish from assembly of pre-finished parts.

Very nice WRA,

Thx for sharing,

Thanks painter777 , explains the 248 on the bridge. Here's better pic's of the groves on barrel and staking marks that deldriver wanted.

Thanks for the pictures, they confirm some rear sight staking I have on another Winchester carbine I have.

If that's the way Winchester assembled carbines, then the Inland reference would not apply.
