    M1 Winchester with replaced barrel

    I have a Winchester purchased about 15 years ago (my first). It had been refinished, had a Winchester stock WRA over GHD with 3GM-R off to right side and looked good. Paid an outrageous sum. It has a W trigger group/guard, bolt, the rest are mostly SA.

    Now my question, the barrel is totally unmarked, not a number or letter on it? I was told Citadel made it, probably bought from Numrich. Is this correct or to best of our knowledge? Is the barrel any good?

    The rifle shoots well, no feeding or ejection issues, it is accurate or at least as accurate as I am.

    With a MW gauge it checks at 2.75. Bullet test is an honest 3/16", M2 Ball. I do not have a throat gauge but have one on the way.

    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.
