Noticed this on the lower #, not sure if it was on higher #, had already reassembled and put it away

Long blades

Looks like all Winchester parts which are very hard to find, Once in the system units would replace [parts as needed with any available replacement parts.

WRA barrel (I have only seen around 10% of Winchesters with their original barrels, most got replacement Springfield or other manufacturers.)

WRA Bolt

WRA Oprod (Probably the hardest WRA part to find)

WRA Trigger housing group complete.

VERY NICE!

What is that U stamp and other mark in the last picture mean??

 

[akitaems]

So, now can someone give me a starting point for value on these? Obviously dont do anything to them other than possibly a good cleaning to get the old grease etc off....

AS a starting point I'd say individually they would be at least $1500-$2000. Not sure what a serious collector would pay for consecutive Win 13s.

I'd recommend joining the CMP Forum and posting the exact info and pictures you did here.

http://forums.thecmp.org/ Try the "Ask Each Other" or the "M1 Garand" topics.
