    WRA Stripped Receiver

    I picked up a stripped Winchester receiver on Saturday at the AGCA show in Birmingham. I kick myself for not also purchasing the Springfield the seller also had (What was I thinking?). The serial number is 2,33x,xxx so late 1943 and down the rabbit hole I go.

    I also have a mix-master early 1943 Springfield that is in desperate need of rebarreling, I think I make into a shooter and goof around with putting together the WRA, to go along with my 1943 WRA Carbine and 1943 1911A1. What is it with me and 1943?

    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.

    A correct WRA will run into at least $1500-2000 right now, so be prepared for $400 op rod, $700 barrel (if you don't want a sewer pipe) and no telling what for a stock!

    I started several years ago and got the metal for about $1200 and still don't have a stock with markings and likely never will. It's a rough thing to build

    That is why I was delighted to find a Grade B Winchester receiver at the CMPicon a couple of years ago with a '60s Toole rebuild mark. It allowed me to build a nice mixmaster "rebuild" Winny.
