anybody ever see any for sale?
It's hit or miss on WRA barrels. Lots of fakes out there, so beware. I got burned, a few years ago. It was before I knew what to look for.
Samw here I got burned a couple months ago before I knew what to look for as well. Do your homework and it will save you some $
The Babcock book that you were talking about, any Winchester barrel photos in the book ? The long and short pads, long and short splines and barrel markings ?
I have a post war WRA for sale.
I'll take $100.00 for it.

Grade III ....lots a use, some pitting, high T and M readings. 225-300
Grade II...good serviceable, nice bore markings, good T and M readings. 375-550
Grade I ...excellent to new. T and M readings close to 1. 650-950 M
I'm told that one individual has received three WRA WWII barrels on CMP non WRA barreled receivers!.. And a Norwegian made M1 barrel on another.
I have a 2.4 SA that has a MINT Win barrel on it, came from CMP some years back.
Ebay has 'em from time to time. Don't just check for WRA or Winchester. Also do a search on rifle barrels. I pick up a WWII Win on one occasion as the guy listed it as a Garand Barrel. Said it was marked on top as being made in 1948. The pic showed a partial stamping. Took a chance and purchased it for $50. Yep, WRA barrel. What he took for a "1948" stamping was a partial drawing number for the barrel. Also had the pin prick and WP oval, which he totally ignored. :cheers:
