Odd Ball M1 Barrel Question
Anyone know the manufacture of this barrel. It’s marked with a crown over a scripted FR. The script looks a little like MS Word French Script but the letters are pushed together and almost appear to be one letter. The complete marking read:
On R/H side: Crown/FR 6535448 (large)P (small)s -1-58-X1
On top side: H 5
On bottom side: Has witness mark like a Winchester Barrel
Gas cylinder pads cromed, Breech is parked and barrel gages nearly new. I’ve never seen a barrel like this one. It is one of the 100.00 CMP Rec/Barrels combo’s. The Receiver is a 1.6 mil SA. There’s Nothing else interesting about it. Donald
Here's a picture. It's the best of ten I took sorry about how bad it is.
