*WINCHESTER MODEL T-3 M-1 SNIPER CARBINE (LESS SCOPE).

*WINCHESTER MODEL T-3 M-1 SNIPER CARBINE (LESS SCOPE). SN 1216. Cal. 30. 18″ bbl. This rifle appears to be a 100% unmolested T-3 carbine by Winchester. There are no markings on the receiver other than the SN on the left side underneath the wood line. Bbl is “WP” proofed, as well the “W” mark for Winchester, and retains a Type 3 bbl band with bayonet lug with no markings. This receiver appears to be forged as a T-3 sniper receiver, as there are no lines to indicate having the bases silver-soldered on. There are proof marks on the underside of the bbl and front of receiver. Bolt assembly is a flat blued Winchester-marked bolt with the firing pin acting rather sluggishly, presumably from being packed with grease. Trigger housing is complete Winchester with all working parts being parkerized, with the exception of the spring and pins. The spring is in the white and pins and sear are blued. Safety is the lever type with the mag catch being M-2. Buttstock is a pot-belly M-2 stock with a white sling that may be British. The operating rod is standard Type B Winchester. PROVENANCE: Tom Clinton Collection. CONDITION: Bbl and receiver retain better than 98% of their orig parkerized finish, showing only minor wear from having the slide actuated. Blued bolt assembly shows near-new, retaining 99% of the orig blued finish. Trigger housing assembly also retains better than 98% of the orig finish. The M-2 buttstock shows good-plus with just a couple of minor scuffs, and the 4-rivet handguard shows near-excellent. Neither stock nor handguard have any manufacturing markings or proofs. This rifle is an outstanding example of a T-3 carbine. Blued “SW” marked magazine shows better than 95% of its orig finish. Mechanics are crisp and bore is excellent. 4-37324 BK11 (3,500-5,500)
