Not all the SA SHM stocks were worked over rebuilds with this cartouche, In two well known journals, it was reported
that some new production stocks did receive the SA SHM cartouche. Between 10K...

I have photos of two 1940 rifles, serial number 52112 with a S-A 7-40 dated barrel and serial number 52808 with S-A 8-40 barrel.

While the serial numbers are close to each other, there is a...

About 18 years ago I called Brownell's to order a hand for my old K-38 , the gunsmith that I talked with advised me to order
the oversized hand for my K-38, which I did order. Worked out fine all...

While on the subject of trigger housings, the first hundred or so produced had no pad and are
quite rare. the reason the pad was added because of the momentum of cocking the hammer

The Winchester "script" barrels were always for replacement, not common to find in such nice condition.

Most were in good to poor condition.

it should have Winchester collector interest.

Actually, it was not my plan to sell the Lyman scope as I have other rifles that can use this scope. Just the rifle.

Over the years i have known a few M70 collectors and they all specialized in...

I heard the same thing, the sling was made for the USMC

I think there were alot of carbines and Model 1911A1 pistols that came back with the WW2 veterans. I remember in the last years in high school
and after, some friends my age had M1 carbines that...

I have been advised by an advanced Winchester collector that the value of the M70 target rifle is $1500.00 and the Lyman scope is $500.00. Having
any US Navy proof will add something but still a...

Tried SRS but no luck, a factory letter from Winchester might help. No US or other markings all rifles
appear to be from the same time period. The rifles were sold on auction from Great Lakes and...

I have a nice original Winchester M70 Target rifle that was manufactured around 1947. Excellent bore and headspace.
This came out of an auction years ago, it was a US Navy Team Rifle, there were...

The FMJ loaded cartridges with the 30-06 WRA headstamp could be the early 30-06 cartridges which compare to the 30 M2 ball

All that I could find out about the SA JFC cartouche was that it was in use from 1932 through 1935

use as both a cartouche and rebuild stamp

Nice photo. But who was the later inspector ? or was it the person ?

Here is another interesting cartouche, it would appear that there were two inspectors with the same
initials only some time between the two.

52724

I believe Samuel P. Green was an army officer - 1920's ?

I saw a list on another forum called "Code Marking" which listed the US inspectors name and
marking of their inspection stamp.

I found a really bad error on the first inspection cartouche for...

I received one too, jcars is the person known as "bodyman" by the name of Jeff Carstens who was a collector of Winchester M1 rifles, did
some work for the GCA publication over the years.

Why...

The bore is not that good will need to work on it, maybe shooting too. Did anyone notice the circulat cut near the gas port
hole ? Seen a few S-A 7-40 and S-A 9-40 barrels also with that circular...

The first gas port barrels started production in June 1940, these barrels are quite rare to locate.

Many of these barrels were also used in direct conversions from gas trap to gas port...
