    9-49 or 9-43?

    M1icon Garand Barrel Date 9-43 T.E. 2 M.E. 1 : Barrels at GunBroker.com


    Link above does not appear as I copy it for some strange computer security reason, but it is on GB if the link does not work.


    New barrel listed on GB.
    Chromed gas port area. Marketed as a 9-43.
    Sure looks like it could be a 9-49.
    Any opinions?

    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. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Redleg,

    Heat lot and drawing number put it right on 9-43. A 1949 barrel would have a much higher heat lot and drawing number.

    Pad was flash chromed in the rebuild efforts after WWII, so that is a correct armory update of a 43 barrel.
