    Help Identify C.A.I. Replacement Barrel on Winchester M1 Garand

    The receiver, trigger group, Op Rod all check out by Drawing numbers as March 1943 Winchester. The replacement barrel has markings I can't identify except it was built in 1967. This is a Century Arms import so it's possible it's a Korean, Danishicon, Greek or other barrel. The circular marking is reminiscent of asian military rifles but I can't place it or find it - especially on a Garandicon. Any help would be appreciated.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    I might be wrong, but I think it is from Tiawan

    Yes thanks. It reminds me of Chinese markings on captured Japaneseicon rifles put in Chinese service.

    Thanks again. Here is pic of Taiwanese M14icon with that circular symbol. So I am probably safe to ID it as a Chinese-Tiawanese barrel.

    Taiwan - no question



    This is a 1950's Taiwan made variant of the WW2 US M1icon Garand Rifle Bayonet & Scabbard The bayonet has black plastic grips and has an overall length of 14". The 9 3/4" single edged fullered blade retains all of it's parkerized finish. The blade is stamped on the ricasso 'KS 60-6' together with a 6 spoked wheel roundel which is the manufacturer code for Taiwan.

    Thanks Everyone!

    All responses deeply appreciated. I'm putting up on GB for my brother and it gives me a basis for pricing. Unfortunately it is not as valuable as he thought. Thanks again everyone.
