Underwood/Winchester WTA???

**Phrogpilot** · 03-21-2010 04:26 PM

Gents, I am a Garand icon

guy, not a carbine guy but I picked up what I think might be a rare Carbine. The receiver is marked Underwood, but all the parts are Winchester. The rear heel is marked WTA in capitol letters, but the serial number is not lined out? Ive heard of Lineouts but not ones that arent... Is it very rare? About how much are they worth??? (I know that is a very broad question...)

Thanks...

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Phrogpilot,

See the thread on this site from 03/06/2010 from Morfred. Describes what you have.

It was the name that was usually lined out, not the serial number. Often they got through with the name unmolested. The WA is the Winchester marking. The T is Intertype Corp. who made the receiver for Underwood. Personally, I would call them scarce, rather than rare.

Gents, decided to make this carbine available on GB.

Here's a link: Winchester Underwood non lineout WTA M1 icon

There goes your chances of being a carbine guy!

I'm being told that the best thing to do when I get a carbine is SELL IT! Carbines are irreversibly addicting!!!
