Do a search for Winchester M1 carbine... that will answer your questions.
AnswerThe question was about the M1 Garand 30-06, not the .30 carbine. No it was not manufactured, but toward the end of WW2 some M1 rifles were modified in the field with the Browning 20-round box magazine. The American M14 and Italian BM-59 rifles were copies of the Garand action with an external box magazine, scaled down to fire the .308 Winchester (7.62mm NATO). AnswerWinchester produced the M1 Garand during the WWII years only.No, Winchester did not make an M1 Garand type rifle with a box magazine. The M1 Garand was originally designed with an internal en-bloc clip magazine.
Yes.The Winchester model 1876 rifle was the only rifle made by Winchester that was chambered for the 45-60WCF(winchester center fire).
no
Yes, they called it their "Youth Model" a.k.a. Boy's Rifle.
The Winchester model 1894 rifle was never made with a vent rib barrel! the only Winchester made firearms with a vent rib barrel was Winchester shotguns.
.270 WCF means Winchester Center fire. Yes, same round- and IMHO, one of the best rifle cartridges ever made.
The only rifle that comes to mind after reading your description is the spencer rifle.Especially a rifle that feed through the buttstock.I do not believe that Winchester ever produced a spencer carbine either during or after the civil war.
My records indicate that at no time did Winchester ever use the letter prefix of LL to a serial number.Please recheck your rifle,s maker and repost your question.
No, there is only room for 2 shells, ever. You cannot increase it's capacity.
If you ever plan to fire it again, you might give very carefull consideration taking all the pieces to a reputable gunsmith.
You will need to include the overall condition of your rifle,along with the serial number so that I would be able to give you a correct answer to your question.
The model number of the rifle should be stamped into the barrel by the Winchester name. If the barrel doesn't have the Winchester name, the model of the gun, and the caliber it's chambered for stamped into it, it's not the barrel that came with the gun. This will complicate the identification and you'll need to post a picture to get an answer. The serial number on a Winchester rifle is only unique to the particular model. Pretty much every model rifle Winchester ever made had one unit with that serial number. It could be anything from a lever action 1895 to a model 12 pump shot gun. If you're have both the model number and serial number, go to the website listed below to find the date it was made. Scroll down to "Related Links" and click on "Arms Collector".
