I know next to nothing about the m1 carbine. I just wanted one. I picked up a CMPicon winchester sn 5751xxx. The stock is a winchester. I can see most of the cross cannons and I think the initials WRA over GHD (not boxed).

One questions I have is that it has a Underwood barrel Rough (the barrel is not smooth) I can see the flaming cannonball and -44 just behind the front sight? No month stamp? Was this common? Did winchester use Underwood barrels? The SN put manufacturing sometime in 44.

I know it is a mix master, I have a inland trigger group, Rock ola charging handle/slide box. Bolt is winchester.

Took it out this weekend and love it. I did have one stovepipe and one jam (loading) But still real happy Looks great next to my garand.

Thanks I sure more questions will come up as I dive in and really look at things.
