CONDITION: Excellent. Nearly all of the factory rich matte finish is retained throughout with only very light wear. Stock and hand guard have scattered light impressions and handling marks. Very fine, crisp bore. ME of 1. Fine mechanics. A nice mid-war correct Winchester carbine. PROVENANCE: Larry Ruth Collection
