wra barrels

[Ramboueille]

I'm told that one individual has received three WRA WWII barrels on CMP non WRA barreled receivers!.. And a Norwegian made M1 barrel on another.

Tom,

I tried to determine a similar barrel in about 1984 I have out on loan without a definitive conclusion but I think it's FN Liege, Belguim.

Trade you a gas-trap IHC barrel.

There are indeed post war Winchester Garand barrels. Most 1966-67 production and sometimes calles "Script" barrels due to the Winchester script trademark stamp on the side of the barrels. How many do you need?

To me the mark looks like the Norwegian Kongsbergs Factory mark (see link below). The Norwegians did use the M1 Garand for many years starting in the 1950s.

Sorry, the link didn't work. Hopefully the Kongsberg mark will appear here.

Tom,

It could be...........

[Mr Hanky]

The Babcock book that you were talking about, any Winchester barrel photos in the book ? The long and short pads, long and short splines and barrel markings ?

I know it shows a few Win bbls in there but I'll have to check when I get off of work for the specs that you asked. I'm sorry I can't do any more right now.

Like RCS said the pad lengths are key. The drawing number means nothing whether it is op rod or clip latch side readable Here are a few WRA barrels..

Starting from left side the first three are long pad long spline { early }. The far right one is a shorter pad with long spline,{ Later } In the lower photo you can see how much more this pad sticks out from the cylinder.

The mark on the barrel IS the Kongsberg Arsenal mark. Here is a Norweigain M1 bayonet with the same mark.

Tom (both of you),

I think you're both right.
