L1a1 barrel ID ?
I have a L1a1 barrel in excellent condition both in the bore and the exterior finish. The gas block is marked B69-960-2266 B60 . The barrel is marked B60-960-2006 with a R near the Knox , There are no other markings . Is it British made , chrome lined and date it was made ? Thanks for any help .

Yep, British, BSA and 1960, not sure about chrome lined.

Is the R as in a capital R or is it in a stylised form?
Don’t know if relevant to the L1A1 but a singular letter R around the Knox on one of a Lee Enfields would indicate that rust had been found. Many armourers would have cut their teeth on the Enfields before moving across to the L1A1, possibly taking some of their markings/codings with them. But then again who knows?
