M1 Garand barrel marked USMC

[Chuckindenver]

non of the A3 barrel, {2 groove} or 1903 springfield barrels grafted into a Garand barrel stub should ever be fired with live ammo.
they will fail. not if, but when.
and heres why.
they cut a worn out Garand barrel right were it steps down, about 10 inches from the breach, they then reamed it out,
then. took a new A3 barrel, and turned it down so it would fit inside the hole that was bore into the old grand barrel.
its then soldered in place,. the muzzle end was then modified to accept the Garand gas system.
so, when installed, the garand stub is nice and tight..{not the barre itself} when shooting the rifle it heats up, solder gets soft, barrel moves forward, while the Garand stub stays in place.
then you get a big surprise ,, boom..
