Winchester good to very good.
SN# 1,155,***











More pics of Winchester good too very good. SN# 1,155,***
Type 3 Winchester slide. Looks like the one prior to the November 18, 1943 change where they removed .040" from the inside of rear slide.


Winchester flate bolt with puch mark "proof". I don't know if web is under extractor as I'm not taking bolt apart yet. Looks like type one firing pin and I think curved /flat right bolt lug. Type 2 or 3 extractor. Looks like two bevel cut ejector?




Winchester trigger housing group with type one dog leg hammer. Winchester trigger,  flip safety
l

Winchester barrel with flip sight. It has a weird w on barrel I can't find a "p" for proof, but it has the flaming ordnance bomb on the the barrel above gas piston. I do not know what barrel band. Also a "Spring Tube" receiver









Pics of wood. I R 8 in sling cut on stock.




I was bored so this was a fun learning experience.

I just picked mine up, very good to fine Winchester.

Push button safety, type 1 barrel band, flat bolt, early handguard, etc. I am very happy. I’m kind of a noob, anything else you guys can tell me about it?

ETA: Serial is 11490xx

I would suggest anyone who bought one of these go here and sign up.

They take awhile to approve accounts, but the real experts hang out there.

Some of the early feature bits on these carbines bring $$$, so do some research before you start taking stuff off and dumping "upgrading" them.

Also be aware that there are probably a lot more fake parts out there for sale than there are genuine parts (flip sights for one) so be careful buying "correct" parts if you want to go that direction with your carbine.

They went on sale at 800 a.m. CST, I checked at 1055 a.m. CST and they were sold out, with a smattering of returns to stock due to ordering errors, etc. through the day, but it was over and done completely by late afternoon. They had imported 3120.
 Makes me wonder if that wasn't some sort of on-line sales record.
 I'd imagine they were all boxed and ready to ship when they went on sale.

The stocks look especially good.

I hope my G-VG gets here soon and looks as good. Although I'm most worried about the bore.

NJ banned them because of a Arsenal robbery, look it up.
No Bayo lug makes the carbine NY legal.
pretty much just a larger caliber 10/22

Yup, it wasn't just any robbery, they were stolen and the used to shoot up some buildings which led to the riots in Plainfield, Newark etc....

But like I said, they were banned for some stupid reason.

It's gone now, but at one point on their info page for these they said "we’re likely over grading these guns," which I thought was an odd thing to say.

Mine is a G-VG Winchester. 1.14million serial so it's 1942. Looks all correct early Winchester except for the stock and rear sight. Pushbutton safety and type 1 barrel band. Has a type 2 dogleg hammer! The stock is a high wood inland with damage around oval cutout. Bore looks fine but gun hasn't been cleaned since it was last used. No pitting anywhere. Great patina.
Overall I'm very happy. More so than I've ever been with the CMP mixmasters!Attachment Attached File

At first I was a little disappointed but the more I looked at it and researched I was happy with it. I wanted one that was drug all over not one that sat in a armory.

Don't do business with RTI. They blatantly misrepresent the history and condition of the guns they sell.
