Manufactured in 1944 near the conclusion of World War II, this is a solid representative example of a refurbished U.S. Winchester M1 Gassed Rifle. This rifle features fixed blade front and elevation and windage adjustable rear peep sights with a locking bar on the windage knob. The trigger guard, operating rod, trigger group, and hammer are all marked with the "W.R.A" Winchester marking. Mounted with a smooth oil finished pistol grip stock and handguard set marked with a boxed "WRA/GHD" and crossed cannon inspection stamp on the left side above the trigger guard and a single circled "P" in the grip area.
