Nice 5.7 Winchester on gunbroker

Pictures of 5.63 Winchester CMP 2003 "white bag". It has not been cleaned.
Please note the type 2 band and rear sight.

Identical to my 5.701.XXX Winny. Nice weapon!

That's great info to have on the barrel band. Also, that rear sight is the same as one my 5.74. My 6.5 Winchester has a milled type two on it with the "H" in shield so commonly found on later Winchesters. Thanks for the pictures!

I have a 1960's NRA sold Winchester, #5,628,117 with a type 3 rear sight by Hemphill, a dark blue round bolt, a small w in the sling well. It does not have a WRA/GHD stamp, only the ordnance cross cannons. The type 2 front band is unmarked an has the high spot welds. All of trigger group is Winchester except the sear which is SW-N [NPM], the op-slide is a type 5, W marked unit.
There sure looks to be a lot of variation in these transitional Winchesters.

I have a Winchester made 1170 before yours, in original configuration. I believe that the bolt should be flat, the stock should have the WRA/GHD (with or without W in slingwell), slide should be a type 4, but as you say, there were a lot of variations. By the way, your carbine was built in March of 1944.
