Extraordinary Set of Three Excellent Condition U.S. Winchester M1 Semi-Automatic Carbines with Original Numbered Shipping Crate -A) U.S. Winchester M1 Carbine Seven Million Range

Lot Contains 3 Items

Lot 2714

Cased Set of 3 Winchester M1 Carbines

Manufactured at the tail end of M1 Carbine production, the six and seven million range M1s were produced concurrently with the M2 Automatic Carbine. This particular group of three, while not sequentially numbered, is united by the included shipping crate. Constructed from pine with spaces for 10 carbines and some accoutrements, the crate retains a partial end label which identifies the ten originally included carbines by serial number, with these three all on the list. Additionally, the carbines retain the majority of a protective plastic film, effectively making them about as close to "factory new" as you'll ever see. Carbine A shows a number of late features, including a Type III bayonet lug, round bolt, adjustable rear sight, flip safety, M2 magazine catch, and a "W" marked oval cut low wood 4-rivet stock. No magazines are included with the lot.
