Shameless M1 plug Winchester

edited April 2013 in General Discussion
I have just listed a nice looking Winchester M1 that I purchased last month. I don't get Winchesters (WRA in M1 Speak) very often because most owners tend to hang on to them and this particular rifle has a genuine Winchester WWII barrel in addition to some rather nice WRA parts. The barrel, while nothing like new, still has life left in it and someone so inclined could do a full restoration on the rifle.

    This is another of the large lot of M1s that I bought last year, just two of which were Winchesters:
    http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=273885797

    It is a very nice rifle but I already have far more Winchester M1s than I need and I figured that I should make some room and move it along to someone who will appreciate it. Winchester M1s are not easy to come by and I don't find very many up for sale. It comes with all of the CMP paperwork and would make a nice addition to someones M1 collection. Thanks for looking.

    This is one of the very few Winchesters that I have been able to offer up for auction so if you have been looking for one (all of them are WWII production) this would be worth a look.

    Don may win simply because others will be afraid he will kick their * if they bid against him.

    Well if we timed it correctly, we could both head to his place and drag him out of his bed in the wee hours, dress him like a pecan version of Mr. Peanut, and take pictures to be posted everywhere.

    You would have to leave slightly earlier of course.
    Also bring a big sign that says "I'm a Nut" for him to hold.[;)]

    There were a total of four: Springfield Armory, Winchester, Harrington and Richardson and International harvester. Winchester did not produce any M1 after WWII while H&R and IHC did not produce any M1s during WWII. Springfield manufactured rifles during all production periods: Pre WWII, WWII and post war.
