Still asking but I like this vintage Winchester

This one I think has some value. Even on a ping pong table.

This one had some work done on it since leaving the factory. The original rear sight has been replaced and the buttstock is from a rifle not a carbine. But it is still an early Winchester and cool.

Have you determined year of manufacture?

Is it the lighting or does it have a flat barrel band?

 

[30-30remchester]

Kind of looks like a flat band. Saddle rings were omitted in 1932 and flat bands were only used around 1948 IIRC. I will no longer alter original guns or knives but in my young and dumb era, I would often buy several well used guns of similar model and swap parts around and make one good gun or knife.

As noted, literally asking for a friend so I don't have answers.
