I have an Early Winchester..It shoots ok..Still have some old Korean war surplus ammo..but not enough for a real war..Only reason I have it is cause it's a Winchester.. I had a guy give me one years ago and 5000 rounds of surplus to go with it..Wore that gun ou and all the ammo. I must say I never had any breakage either..robusst little rifle.. Tather in law was issued a bunch to his copany for training and evaluation purposes before they were issued. He told me they were a POS ...but this is a guy who even as a left hander..preferred the 03. It was a "real" rifle is the way he put it. His other favored weapons were the Sten gun and the big ol British machete(cut a man clean in half with one of them...his words)...but he fought with the Brit Commandos for almost 4 yrs.. He kinda admired their "Kill 'em all and let God sort them out attitude". He did carry a Garand but only cause they took his 03. His other gun was a bunch of Browning machine guns..His squad had 110% casualtie rate till the balle of the Bulge..
