Isnt the breech too dark? Finish isnt original, not like my 2 anyway, but I have 1944, and 1945 WRA's, with cartouches, not overhauled and sanded.

I don't know if it is worth the asking price or not. If I was going to pay that amt. for any M1 I would want to see it in person or at least be convinced that the seller would honor a no questions asked return policy. On the other hand I wish that was my rifle but that I had bought it about 30 years ago and was smart enough to hold on to it.

'42 Winchester on GB
would look better with a cartouched WRA WB trapdoor stock

The receiver and barrel look like they were blued after leaving the military, as Winchester did not use Dulite blue on those parts, just the gas cylinder if my info is correct. I would guess it's a put together rifle, or at least a refinished rifle that had some parts added along the way
