smokedawg SASS#60968 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 (edited) I've got a pretty nice Winchester M1 carbine that I'm thinking about trading. This is a USGI Winchester carbine. It was given to South Korea and then imported back. It has a very light Arlington Arsenal import stamp under the barrel. It has the typical post war upgrades, adjustable rear sight and bayonet lug. It is a late enough built gun that an adjustable sight might be correct. It has a USGI contract chrome lined barrel. Proof (P) marked. It is marked under the barrel flat, not on top forward of the bayonet lug. Bore is excellent. I like Colt and Winchesters. I'm ok with compromised guns....ones that have seen post factory work. Shortened barrels, refinished as long as the factory markings are strong. I could use an 1895 in an available caliber, 1892 in .38-40, 1886 in .45-70. Colts in .38-40 or .45 Colt. .38 special depending on the model. A military marked 1905 would be interesting. A Winchester M1 Garand. I also like stuff made at the Springfield armory...the real one. A good shooter Krag, a Trapdoor, 1903 Springfield etc. I'm really on teh hunt for a USMC 1903. The value on M1 carbines has exploded recently. Midway just sold a bunch for $1400-$1700. No mags. I figure the value on this is around $1275 or so. I can add a mag if legal where you are. I have additional mags......I think 7 I can work in the deal. I might be interested in a Browning marked Winchester repro also. Depending on what you have, I can add cash or you can add cash on the deal. I will get some pics taken and posted today. Shoot me a message if you are interested. Edited June 27 by smokedawg SASS#60968 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uriah, SASS # 53822 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Smokedawg, I am very interested in your carbine. We do a position shoot, twice a month, at 50 yds. I’m thinking just the ticket. Photos? Uriah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake-eye, SASS#45097 Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 What is the manufacturer marking on the barrel, USGI barrels were not chrome lined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokedawg SASS#60968 Posted June 24 Author Share Posted June 24 Like I said. "USGI contract barrel" It is an early 70's contract barrel. The barrel is P proofed. The P shows that a high pressure test round was fired. I am unsure of the maker. I checked when I bought it but cannot remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokedawg SASS#60968 Posted June 25 Author Share Posted June 25 I'm gonna be cross posting this. Lots of interest but nobody has put $$ on the table or a trade I can use. If you are still interested, shoot me a message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
