Bill,
Didn't mean you Hijacked.
Just thought a new post would have brought more attention.
Someone other than I would have a better guess as to your born on date.
I HAD some WRA production dates noted, but as stated they've been lost.
I guessed Mid March-Mid April of 43. Gut wants to say more towards the early part of March.
At 1000 + carbines a day........ anything could have been possible.
I do believe your barrel to be correct.

Good Day Guys,
Charlie

Thanks for the information Charlie. You are right about a new thread but there was a great deal of really good information disseminated here. It is really nice having such knowledgeable people here on this site!

I was going back through some older posts and ran into this one. The safety information is like finding gold and with the barrel information thrown in for measure, well that is cool too.

Hey, if or when you find that Winchester production data scan it onto your computer. How do you lose that???

I had printed off notes stashed away in my first copy of War Baby. Best I can remember I must have left it at the motel on a big out of town new build we did.
Can't remember who it was that posted WRA production dates/figures. Lost a lot of good info......

Gotta Run,
Charlie

Charlie,
I can't remember the CCNL# but I think it was in the 330's that has the log of WRA stamped recievers. I'm not at home right now to get you the info, but if someone doesn't get it for you PM me and I'll find the article number. IIIRC it was about three weeks after the receiver was numbered that the carbine was assembled give or take depending on what was going on at the plant.
