Beautiful Winchester 1894 - .30-30 Win Lever Rifle w/ 26" Barrel - MFD 1914

Here's a great rifle for the WWII collector. This is a very desirable Winchester "Win-13" M1 Garand. During WWII there were just two manufacturers of the M1 Garand rifle....Springfield Armory and Winchester. So that there would be no duplication of serial numbers, each manufacturer was assigned certain specific serial number blocks in which they were to number their receivers.
Overall condition is very good. The receiver and barrel appear to be original to one another and not refinished. There is no chrome on the barrel gas port. The rifle retains most of the original parkerized finish with normal wear only. There is no rust or any pitting and there are no import markings. The stock is in good condition and free of cracks, but does show the usual dents, dings and small gouges. There is just one circle-P firing proof on the pistol grip, no rework stamps, and the original WRA/GHD and crossed cannons acceptance stamps are still visible. Mechanically, this rifle appears to be in excellent shape and has an excellent bright, sharp bore with a throat erosion reading of about 2.2 and a muzzle erosion reading of about 1.5. It comes with a canvas sling and one en bloc clip. The serial number places manufacture of this rifle in about May, 1945.
