Hey Gang, I'm hoping you can help me ID the gas cylinder below. Does it look like a Winchester Cylinder to y'all? Also, does it look like a wide base or narrow base cylinder to y'all? Thanks in advance.

Need more pics... from above looking down... sides and flat of the bayonet lug area... same for the sight base... hard to tell if narrow or wide laying on its side...
Possibly
Winchester has round ring (no flat spot) that looks like its hand filed as I recall.
wide base is wider than front sight whereas narrow is @ same width.

Thanks yall. I'm guessing it's a Winny gas cylinder. The ring definitely doesn't appear to have a flat spot on it. It's being marketed along with 2 others as an SA but the rings on the other 2 definitely have a flat spot. Now as far as the base it doesn't look like the sight sits flush on it so probably a wide base, correct?
I would say but I am only an internet expert far from as knowledgeable as many.
Does the bayonet lug have a punch mark?

I can't make out a punch mark but the picture I'm looking at is a little dark.
Definitely a wide base gas cylinder... really need to see how the bayonet lug is shaped... though the round rear ring says Winchester, would feel better seeing the shape of the bayonet lug...
Here's the bayonet lug. This is the best pic I could get
Thanks Gman. It looks like the manual references a "Du-Lite" finish. The one I've referenced above seems to exhibit the blue finish that may be consistent with du-lite.
