1903 national match star gauge code stamp on barrel

Johnny,

What is the date on your barrel? I already have a new-in-the-tube barrel like yours in my data base, manufactured on the same Work Order Number. Please advise.

Thanks!

It is probably the same one I sent you the data on. Without pulling it out of the tube, I believe it is dated 1-38. The Star Gage record card is dated 2-11-38. It also came with the original sales receipt.

Oops!

I do indeed have the data on your barrel. I just found it. I missed it earlier when scanning through my data base.

Thanks for the reminder!

p.s.,

You might be interested to learn that I have data on a second NRA sporter barrel, also new in the tube, dated 5-38 which includes a star gauge record card dated 6-14-38 and manufactured on the same W.O. # 333-1.

Springfield Armory had it's own shipping tape. This is the tube the barrel was shipped in.
