Receiver manufactured in 1944, as a part of the second production block from Winchester Repeating Arms Co. (serial number range 5,549,922 to 5,834,618) produced from December 1943 to November 1944, as shown in the table on page 327 of R. C. Larson's book "M1 Carbine Comprehensive Guide: 2nd Edition". Winchester "W" and W/P" proofed barrel. Includes a web sling and metal oiler. Magazine absent. Note: Due to state and local laws, this lot is not available for purchase or transfer to residents of Washington State.

Fine as arsenal refurbished and subsequently partially returned to World War II configuration and modified, retaining much of the finishes with some light edge wear, thinning on the operating rod, some light spotting focused on the buttplate, some light cycling wear, a small dent in the rear of the receiver's rear sight dovetail base, and clear roll marks. The stock is also fine as sanded and re-oiled with some scattered minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
