From Ben's Private Collection - M1-Carbine, Winchester, .30 Cal Carbine Cal, Excellent Cosmetic Condition, Poor Bore - Ser # 5618407 - C & R Eligible

This Firearm Will Be Posting In January 2025 - Beautiful M1 Carbine Rifle manufactured by Winchester. The Winchester M1 carbine is highly sought after by collectors due to the name being so synonymous with great American firearms. This rifle is in what I am assuming is Refurbished As-New condition with a beautiful parkerized metal finish. The walnut stock features really nice grain and all cartouche stampings are historically accurate. The barrel features a post-war micro adjustable rear sight and there are no barrel markings on the barrel. I cannot find an import stamp anywhere on this rifle and externally, from a cosmetic standpoint, it is in absolutely flawless condition. Now for the bad part. This rifle does not have a good bore. In fact, it looks like a sewer pipe with heavy scarring from end to end. Sometimes a couple of rounds through will clean that out but I put a couple of rounds through, and it didn't help. Rifle functions fine but if you purchase this one do so knowing that it has an ugly bore, and the price reflects the flaw. Frankly I don't know why I have this rifle as I am typically a stickler for checking the bore, but this was obviously an exception. The rifle ships with 1-15 round mag in a hard case for maximum protection. This rifle has been represented here through images and description with 100% accuracy as I know it and if you are not comfortable buying it based on this information Do Not Make the Purchase. All sales are final on this rifle. This rifle is C&R Eligible. The back story. Over the last 30 plus years in the gun business I have acquired some really nice surplus firearms. These guns came from Gun Shows, private collections, and private individuals that I have met along the way, as well as, on occasion, what I would deem as the best of a particular lot when it came in here to Classic. Well, all good things must end and at this point in my life it is time to downsize a little and that includes letting go of some of these "Gun Safe Queens" that I have typically only pulled out to clean ever so often. Now don't get me wrong, there was a time when I would not have even considered giving up one of these firearms as they have been very special to me. However, my daughters show no interest in inheriting them, and I've decided that I would rather see them in the hands of folks that would relish them, than to have them to continue sit in a dark safe here at Classic. Each gun from my private collection is unique and they will sell individually by serial #, so when that gun is gone, it is gone and irreplaceable. At least from me. If you no longer see this rifle in inventory, you will know that it has sold. See more about the rifle below.
