Were two groove barrels approved for use in M-1 rifles?
Were any M-1 rifles actually manufactured with two groove barrels?
(Not referring to the cobbled together rewelds, but actual M-1 rifles).

I believe that the Ordnance Department did approve two groove barrels for the M1 BUT NO two groove barrels were manufactured for the M1.

M1's were specified for four-groove only.
Any barrel presented as a M1, MUST be carefully examined as some characters would bore out shot-out M1 barrel an turn down and sliver solder a 03 two-groove in place.
DO NOT FIRE, this barrel configuration.
