Serial No. 670344. This carbine, manufactured in 1913, at first glance appears to be a standard carbine. Featuring a 20" round barrel, full magazine, carbine folding rear sight, and carbine curved buttplate. The saddle ring is not present, instead has the Winchester side sling swivels on the rear barrel band on the left side of stock. The barrel and tube are pleasing blue starting to plum finish, as is the receiver. The wood is fine, and there is a slight gap where at the wrist, wood may have been refinished years ago. The bore is very good with strong rifling and minor frosting. The gun is fully operational. It is chambered for the standard .30-30 Winchester round.
