Just found this little beauty, Model 54 in a 270 looks to be all original not drilled and tapped on the rear mount. missing the aperture, otherwise its in really good condition
I cherish the day if I could ever find myself sitting on a deer stand in PENN with a Winchester M54 carbine in 7X57MM in my grubby little paws..........

My carbine is in 30-06 and after reading this I may have to actually shoot it and see if I can even see the sights anymore.

I have what was referred to as the "short" rifle in .30 Gov't 06. Its essentially a 20" carbine length barreled action in a early "Standard"or "NRA Improved" style stock.
Per Rule, Winchester introduced the M54 Carbine (stock with the finger grooves in the forend and no checkering) in mid-1927 and the NRA Short Rifle (checkered stock similar to the one found on the M70) in 1934. Not as many NRA Short Rifles out there.

this one is 1925 and is three digit serial number. I found a period correct aperture for it as well. going to research the slings that were used for it

Winchester Collectors website has a great thread on period correct leather slings!

Per Bichrest: “The survey shows that Short Rifles were assembled early in production well before their catalog introduction in 1934. Early variations may be stocked with the Standard Rifle stock or later with the NRA type stock with a Nickel Steel barrel.” My rifle is serial numbered around 1932 with a Nickel Steel barrel date code of 28, in the early Standard type stock with a Lyman 48 WJS Aperture sight and period correct Noske 2-1/2x Hunter Fieldscope.
I have one in a 06 made in 1930. Used to to have a 4 digit one in a 270 made 1926. But it was stolen out of my buddies vehicle in Idaho few yrs back. Need to find another in s 270. My 06 shoots 180 partitions with rl22 very well.
