03A4 Production

[xarmor]

I have an A4 barrel that is dated 1-43, it is on an early 340 sn rifle. It does not have a punch mark on the bottom but it is machined as an A4. The barrel is original to the rifle. IMHO I think the machining on this earlier barrel is better than the later barrels that I have seen. This particuliar rifle was brought back from Vietnam in 1970 and does not look like it has ever been rebuilt.
