nice rifle, price is ok, however, bolt is too early for the rifle, so likely its a replacement, as is the stock and the buttplate..
i have its sister in my safe..mine has the correct bolt, stock, ect.

what are the markings for a star guaged Springfield barrel

[lencac]

Look at the link I provided. It shows the star gauge mark on the crown and the letter/number stamp on the barrel.

star gauged barrels.
marked just ahead of the rear sight base, C89752/B135422 ect.
then some, but not all were stamped with a star at 6:00 on the muzzle.
iv seen some genuine NRA sporters, and a couple USMC NM rifles sans the muzzle stamp.
they all had the letter number stamp on the barrel..all were issues with a gauge paper as well, most are missing, some can be found in the butt trap, or kept by the shooter owner of the rifle.
iv only seen a few rifles with the stargauged paper as well.
i own 5 star gauged rifles, not lucky enough to get the paper:{

couple notes on the rifle.
bolt is a restamped J5, and NOT a real NS.
barrel is too late for the reciever, and not original to the rifle.
at best a nice parts gun..
