    just got winchester type 5 trigger housing

    It is not in as good shape as my inland. It is nicked and finish is rubed off in places. But it is a winchester. It is in fair to good shape had a little problem assembling it. The mag release and Mag return spring holes each had parts of the spings stuck in them The mag release was a little hard to get out Because of where the hole was and trying to get something in there to poke it out took about 20 min. I cleaned it up and oiled it up good. It has some pitting not horrible. All the pins were tight had to tap with brass hammer to get started.

    One big plus its a winchester (Only big component left not is the barrel) and the trigger housing is real tight in the stock no movement at all.
    The inland had a left to right wiggle. Very slight but it was there.

    Happy camper Love this gun. Want more but I like my wife too much and it would be either her or more carbines. It is a thought choice. After weighting out the pros and cons she won out by a hair.

    Thanks to all who have and continue to help me out with this awesome gun I now shoot it more than my 300 blk out pistol and m1 Garandicon.
