    Sounds like a Lithgowicon barrel.

    I would need to consult my book, but I think Lithgow started by chroming the chamber and shifted to chroming chamber and bore in the late 1960's.

    I don't think the Britishicon and Canadians chromed barrels, but I stand ready to be corrected.

    If the gas block lacks any marking, then it's Lithgow.

    Canadianicon c1/c2 barrels were chrome bore and chamber from day 1.

    c1 gas blocks have no markings...

    British L1 barrels were chrome lined from an early point...
