I’m a first time carbine owner. Hope to learn from you all. I picked up a Winchester today and will post pics once I figure out how. I am looking for a few extra mag also. Which reproduction mags are better to get? Please bear with me on all the questions I have.

Welcome. That’s a nice looking WRA would love to see more pictures. You would probably be better off with USGI mags which you could probably find here or on the CMP forum. Be very careful Carbines are very addicting.

Welcome.
I agree with kro, one GI Mag is probably better than 3 aftermarket mags.
Just be patient and buy them as they pop up at a good price.

Hi and welcome to the forum from New Mexico!

A Winchester is a great place to start. From the pictures you've posted so far it looks like a post war rebuild that has mostly Winchester parts. The barrel band and rear sight are the only parts that look out of place. It originally had a Type 1 barrel band and a flip sight. Here's link to one that was sold by the CMP that is near your serial number to compare.

https://cmpauction.thecmp.org/detail.asp?id=2280&n=M1-Carbine-Winchester-Bavaria-Forestry-Police-1329710

Hope you take the time to fill out and submit a CCC Data Sheet.

Welcome
Don't blame us.
No cure known.
Must buy more.
Need much ammo.
Must show all to fellow members.

A full view of each side of your stock is needed.

Nice score,

Speedball...  you know once you have one, you’re gonna want another and then another and then more ammo and then a bayonet and more ammo and then you are broke.  

Welcome to the forums, you did good with your new toy.

Thanks , yeah I know it’s addiction. I also have an m1 Garand and also a k98 Mauser but they are all shooters. I did score some of the Korean surplus ammo tho. I should be good for a little while
