Manufactured in 1930, this is a very scarce trapper's carbine with a factory original 15 inch barrel. These short barreled carbines remained popular on the frontier well into the 20th century due to their very portable firepower. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms lists this carbine by serial number as being removed from the purview of the National Firearms Act and classified as a curio and relic (ATF exemption letter from 2009 included). These guns would have been highly prized by western ranchers and cowboys for their portability and firepower, as well as by trappers, as the nickname would imply. It has standard markings, including Winchester factory oval proofs on the barrel and receiver at the breech. It is fitted with pinned blade front and folding ladder rear sights, and a saddle ring on the left of the receiver. It's mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with a carbine buttplate.
