Winchester Victory Edition M1 Carbine

[Boomer686]

Limited production run: serialized in sequence with POA paperwork and sold as box sets only.
I could not get any tentative date or anticipated MSRP from the guys on the floor so unfortunately for the time being it's just eye candy / vapour-ware.

 

[Dark Alley Dan]

Interesting. More a repro of the prototype then?

How short is the barrel and what is the OAL?
What exactly comes in the boxed set?

I failed to confirm the barrel length but if it's true to form the barrel would be exactly 18". The boxed set is supposed to come with everything shown as well as a sling according to the marketing guys.

 

[Rifleman1984]

That is a really cool package.

 

[Sask Bearman]

Great to see them doing a package like this. Should be a good seller.

 

[John Y Cannuck]

Who's building it?
I realize at this stage that may not be known.

Where are the sling swivels? Or, for that matter, the sling cutout in the stock?

It looks like a museum display to me, really cool.
I would love to have one.... someday anyway....

I doubt the Guberment will be handing out new prohib licences anytime soon, so unfortunately these are mostly just going to stay stateside.

Why would these be prohib?

Why would these be prohib?

Missing .5 inch.

 

[1oldfart]

Missing .5 inch.

wouldn't that make them Restricted not Prohib?

 

[HK41]

Looks like the dovetailed slot for the rear sight but no rear sight.

Maybe its suppose to model the M1 carbine prototype? It's an untapped market for collectors since there are several companies already pushing out WW2, and post WW2 correct reproductions.

 

[lone-wolf]

wouldn't that make them Restricted not Prohib?

Yes it would, like all the restricted carbines already up here.

 

[Shelldrake]

Hmm,maybe they aren't introducing the rifle at all.
They are just introducing the M1 carbine ball ammo into their "Victory Series" of line of ammo.

 

[Biscut]

Nice

 

[Shelldrake]

The rifle looks like one of the original prototypes.
