WRA 1/2 A'ed clip latch

**Bill Hollinger** · 07-10-2009 06:45 PM

I really DO need to wear these new glasses more often! I just bought a WRA "A" marked clip latch because I needed one

! Or so I thought! The one I bought was a great deal and couldn't pass on it and the color match to my receiver is perfect. Pictured is the clip latch that was in the receiver!

Have any of you seen a clip latch with a half A'ed "A" before?

I guess it had to be me. It has all the makings of a Winchester clip latch and now that I'm wearing my new glasses I can clearly see the half "A" on the foot. Does anyone need a clip latch for a Winchester?

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.

Must have been a new trainee on 1/2 pay at Winchester. Ollie was a real taskmaster!

I have seen several Winchester clip latches with partial "A"s. In fact that is what is on my Win-13. If it matches in wear and color, I wouldn't hesitate using it.

Sometimes the A looks like a triangle and other times it is such a partial stamping that it looks like a dent. Nice that you noticed it.
