Garand with Marlin Barrel
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Picked up a Garand the other day from a private owner. Typical Post War 58 Mil Springfield mixmaster with the exception of a Marlin Barrel with a MW of less than 1. Barrel is stamped under the handguard

Stripped her down for a clean and inspection and found that someone had punched the barrel on three sides under the lower band. Anyone ever seen anything like this before?

Nothing on the stock except for a W or a M on the heel of the grip. Any ideas what it stands for?

Got her cleaned up and put back together, should make a good shooter
