    Question for all...
    I have no bore guages.
    I use a Poor Mans M2 Springfield 30-06 round to check the muzzles on my M1icon carbines.

    What could I use to check the muzzle of this WRA barrel ?
    Would the M2 round give a rough guess ?

    I'll be back by this small Pawn shop, probably the end of this coming week... Friday or Saturday, as I have a Carbine being shipped there, being sent this Tuesday from NJ.

    I could look the bore over then and measure muzzle if a M2 round will work.

    The owner isn't up to speed on most guns, to include this loose barrel. That's why he asked me what he had. Seems it came in a loose lot purchase of misc stuff.
    At this time I haven't heard him quote a asking price.
    But I'm sure he'd let me take it home and get some pictures.
