*WINCHESTER M-1 CARBINE WITH STAINLESS STEEL BARREL.

*WINCHESTER M-1 CARBINE WITH STAINLESS STEEL BARREL. . SN 7263334. Cal. 30. Standard 18″ bbl. This is a very late Winchester carbine with an experimental stainless steel bbl installed. It incorporates all of the later features of an end-of-war carbine including a Type 3 bbl band, a Type 2 milled rear sight, a flip safety and magazine catch with extra hook. Having some knowledge of Winchester’s manufacturing technique, this cataloger believes that this bbl was manufactured by them. Rifle is equipped with an Underwood manufactured flash hider that appears to have been installed on this gun for quite some time. Most of the components are Winchester manufacture with the exception of the bolt and operating slide being earlier Inland. PROVENANCE: Tom Clinton Collection. CONDITION: Receiver shows approx. 95% of orig parkerized finish showing light to moderate use. On rear sight is Winchester manufacture and shows approx. 98% of orig parkerized finish. Stainless steel bbl shows its age with a light patina coating throughout and exhibits the crude polishing techniques that are associated with Winchester. Trigger housing shows better than 95% of the orig parkerized finish with a blued hammer and pins and the spring and plunger being in the white. Blued Inland bolt shows approx. 60-65% thinning finish with the Inland slide retaining approx. 85% of its orig parkerizing, turning to patina on the handle. Winchester-marked bbl band and bayonet assembly show near-excellent, retaining nearly all of its orig finish. “BW” marked magazine shows good, as does the late-war sling. Buttstock is a correct low-wood, late-mark Winchester that is in fine condition with no government acceptance marks. The handguard is also a late Winchester with 4 rivets showing near-excellent. Underwood flash hider shows nearly all of its orig finish. Bore is bright and shiny and mechanics are crisp. 4-37339 BK13 (4,500-7,500)
