Nice SRC. I like old Winchesters that show that they've been around for a long time and have a lot of stories to tell.

Um, don't mean to hijack, but what is an SRC exactly? I have had no luck looking that up and would love for someone to fill me in.

A real fine looking old carbine that can still get the job done with class.I just wonder what great old tales of the trail it could tell.

Thanks for the help with the picture.

It does have the cabine style curved steel but plate but has no sadle ring. Its quite acurate but it shoots rather high.
I will either look for a taller front sight that pins in the same way, or I might need to file the notch in the ladder a little.
Some pureists will say not change anything, but If I file the notch just a we bit then rub a little gun oil on it it should be might hard to see.

I have an old SRC that shot high also. Get in touch with winchesterbob.com He has replacement front sights that pin in on the old Winchesters. They are nickle steel and post design so you can file it to suit you. IMO, a much better option than filing the rear sight and about $20.

Tell us about the interesting knife.

It appears similar to one made by Monarch about 35 years ago.

Your carbine is a KEEPER!
