Found a Winchester M-1 at a local gun shop. It was made Feb 1944 as referenced by receiver number. I did not fully take the gun apart but all parts are marked WRA that should be. Its got lock bar rear sight and a faint cartouche WRA over GHD with ord wheel. The barrell has a circle with a W and a P over top of that. Is that a winchester proofed barrell? Also I wanted to know is 1000.00 to much to invest in this rifle? Thanks

Bought it. I do not believe i went wrong with this purchase. I have been looking for a collector winchester for awhile. I believe this rifle is a DCM Collector Garand before they went to CMP Program.
