My Lucky Winchester M1 Find

I didn't mean to sound rough just being direct. You could probably sell the barreled receiver for what you paid so you didn't do bad. I would make sure though in the future you try to research what you are buying as there are allot of sharks out there. The stories are amazing and make us want to put up money right away. Be careful.

No offense taken. I appreciate honesty. I know you guys are here to always give great advice.

By looking at the below pictures, there seems to be a unit stamp of some sorts. Is this a rack number or unit number?

Very nice Winchester you got there. Very nice indeed!

Well, life seems to get in the way. I am sad to do this, but I have to sell the rifle. Listed it on gunbroker last night. Would I best sell it as a whole or part the rifle out? I wouldn't part her out if I knew she was correct, and not a put together. Thanks.

If you sell it whole, who's to say the next man won't see green in his eyes and part it out after you? I've had that happen. I think it could be worth more as parts. Of course that would be a shame anyway. It's yours and you should do what you want.
