To change barrels or not.

[latigo 1]

I have a couple of M1's for shooting, so shooting this one is not
a concern. I'm trying to figure if a $525.00 Win barrel with an all correct rifle will raise the value of the rifle enough to justify spending that much. Thanks Jim.

No it would not. You say the barrel you are looking at has a chromed gas port. A Winchester barrel with a chromed gas port would be no more correct than an SA or aftermarket barrel.
