The I cut Trimble stock is worth more than a Winchester. The bolt is not round. I'm not well versed on the spring tube vs integral spring values with Winchester, but I personally would prefer a non-spring tube. But I wouldn't let that bother me, it looks to be a good honest carbine and $1200 would be a steal out on the Kommunist Coast. The stock looks great and after a complete cleaning, it would be a great one to own.
