That label is a fake. That format was never used by the military. Furthermore back in the days of FSN, the military never packed anything in a plastic wrapper without VCI paper.

Barrels that were imported from Korea had no import markings, unless they came in assembled on a carbine.

Are there any markings on the Bayonet Lug?

Thanks Bill. No, there are no markings on the bayonet lug/band. Fake label too! It looks like this whole thing was made up to deceive. I guess the front sight is worth something?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

It appears to me to be a Herlo barrel. If so, it won't even make a good tomato stake since it may rust on the tomatoes. LOL Some guy went to a lot of trouble to disguise a worthless barrel. JMHO..

If the sales description was deceptive, I would contact him and let him know you are disappointed. Use these posts to contradict anything that is claimed.
