Hi All:
I am a new member but I have been lurking on this site for about a year.  I have a mixmaster Winchester carbine made 1943-1944 I believe,  serial number 11287XX.  The receiver and its components are all Winchester along with the barrel.  I purchased this carbine in 1966 for $30 from my Grandfather that owned a part time gun store in Ashland, Ky.  It is a beauty and was refitted with a bayonet lug marked AI and an adjustable rear sight marked PI.  The blued recoil plate is marked SG with a blued bolt and the front sight is a RIA.  The walnut stock is marked S-HB and the handguard is marked R.S.G.  The butplate is a Standard Products.
I will complete the data sheet and submit soon.  I will also post photos after the second coat of BLO is dry.
I have been collecting various firearms since the 1960’s and have learned a lot about Carbines from member posts and the info. on the forum.  Still lots to learn.  
A couple of questions please:  Is the blued SG recoil plate unusual since it is not parkerized but I believe is the original blueing?  Also, could this carbine have been refurbished at the RIA?
Thanks for all your help!
