*FINE U.S. M-1 CARBINE BY WINCHESTER, UNIT ARMORER REWORK.

*FINE U.S. M-1 CARBINE BY WINCHESTER, UNIT ARMORER REWORK. SN 5659614. Cal. 30. Standard 18″ bbl with mixed components. Barreled receiver is of the late 1944/early 1945 variety with a stamped rear sight and a Type 3 bbl band with bayonet lug that is “MMQ” marked. Operating slide has the numbers “1 3” with an “N” stamped in it. The brazed and stamped trigger housing is IBM in its entirety with a post-war mag catch and safety. The bolt is a round parkerized bolt marked “ROCK-OLA”. The figured buttstock is a low-wood, late Winchester with the pistol grip slightly reshaped and a highly figured 4-rivet handguard with the number “54” stamped on the inside. The sling is WWII Type 3 that is marked on the inside, but the marking is illegible. This handsome specimen is likely a Unit Armorer rework for a Ranking Officer. PROVENANCE: Tom Clinton Collection. CONDITION: All metal components retain better than 90% of their orig parkerizing, with the exception of the safety, mag catch and extractor which are blue. Hammer and recoil spring are in the white. Wood shows very good with very nice cross grain and only a couple of light scuffs. Upper handguard shows very good with some slight dryness and cracking in the sight groove. Mechanics are excellent and bore is bright and shiny. Sling is in good condition. 4-37325 (2,000-3,000)
