7/20/18 – This is a unique, perhaps “one of a kind” early, Winchester M-1 Carbine.  Most likely experimental or tool room sample.  The Winchester logo and serial # 0512 is on the receiver.  The barrel is Marlin marked, with P proof – no evidence of bayo lug.  It has S marked rear site that has NOT been staked.  The trigger assembly is unmarked.  It has a Winchester hammer, and checkered push button safety, with a later ‘M’ marked magazine release.   The stock is un-sanded and W (Winchester) marked underneath, and the handguard is also W marked.  Inside the sling well is a marking of some type but not legible.  The stock has no inspection or military cartouche which supports the theory that it was an early factory sample – never issued.  Some parts are in the white, with others are parkerized.   The magazine is IU marked and notably not blued but rather parkarized (experimental?).  Early Type 1 front barrel band.  High wood stock, but not “I” cut for the sling.  Bore is shiny with strong rifling, but minor frost toward the muzzle.  As already stated, a truly unique piece for the advanced collector.
