M1 Garand Question

[Bob Womack]

Thank you Bob
Can those marks confirm that is a 30-06?
Regards

I'm not ready to say that, though by date, in all probability it is. That's why I called for help. I'd prefer to look dumb rather than hand out bad info that could get you hurt.

That part number D6535448 is a .30 cal. barrel.

Hey Bob,
So it´s a 30-06, thanks.
Regards

While your barrel was originally .30/06, there is no proof that it is STILL .30/06. It could have been re-bored or re-chambered to something else. That was not as commonly done with Garands as with bolt action rifles but "never say never". As an example, I have an A3 Remington that has been re-chambered to .300 Winchester Magnum as well as a 1903 Remington that has been re-bored and re-chambered to .358 Norma Magnum. I have a few other rifles that have started out as one thing and are now another. So, the advice you have been given to have it checked is good advice.
