Is there a picture?
yes sure
That one is outside of my wheel house, I'm not familiar with those markings. Maybe an expert will chime in. I'm not as familiar with foreign or commercial made barrels if that's what it is. I don't know what the Beretta and Breda barrel markings look like and I believe the Danish made VAR barrels say so. I just plain don't know on this one.
There should be markings under the lower handguard too. On top of the barrel...
These are the only marks present. The top of the barrel have no markings
Looks like a possible Danish replacement barrel .
If it is an M1D issued by the US than there will be a drawing number ending in 555. If this is a Danish replacement M1D barrel than no drawing number. The barrel looks like it has a Danish crown to the right.
Yeah i know about a 555 drawing.Quote:

Lots of things can happen to a rifle post-service. From the moment it hits the surplus market people can rebarrel, replace parts (very popular with the American arms to try and create 'correct' rifles) etc. Not saying it is or isn't just that once it hits the market anything can happen.
I know , i know.
Anyone know if m1d was sent in taiwan?
The Danes had their M1 D's re-barreled as needed when the original U.S. barrel was no longer useable . The barrel shown is one of their replacement M1 barrels fitted with a M1 D base and mount . If it was replaced there will be no drawing number 555 etc. .
I know. My doubt is about the scope mount. Its danish made in danish arsemal... or it was assembled by Mike last week in theyr basement??
Show photos of the mount, all you have is some barrel markings.
There is a company in Italy selling Danish Garand with original M84 scopes and mounts but repro barrel blocks on new Other Walther barrels. I've just bought one.
Maybe it's one of those?
