Here is a U.S. M1 30 caliber carbine manufactured by Winchester. This carbine has serial #7238788 on the receiver, an unmarked barrel with a bright, excellent bore, a four rivet handguard with a "C" stamping on the underside and a low wood pistol grip stock with a strong wheel acceptance mark on the right side. The walnut stock and hand guard rate near excellent with light handling marks. This carbine has an "EW" stamped type B safety, "7161843" stamped type F operating slide, underlined "M" stamped type D magazine release with "W" stamping, type C front band with bayonet lug, type C recoil plate stamped "W", type C trigger housing stamped "W", a "W" stamped type C hammer and an adjustable rear sight stamped "H" within a shield on the right side. The metal surfaces retain most of their greenish military finish with light wear on high edges and in locations where operation would honestly wear parts. The butt plates has some surface rust staining and the breech bolt has more of a dark blue finish. This carbine includes a "BW" marked 15 round magazine which retains a regular blue finish. A fine example of a Winchester M1 Carbine.  {C&R}
