Garand Barrel Date 9-43 T.E. 2 M.E. 1 : Barrels at GunBroker.com

Link above does not appear as I copy it for some strange computer security reason, but it is on GB if the link does not work.

New barrel listed on GB.
Chromed gas port area. Marketed as a 9-43.
Sure looks like it could be a 9-49.
Any opinions?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

Redleg,

Heat lot and drawing number put it right on 9-43. A 1949 barrel would have a much higher heat lot and drawing number.

Thanks!

Pad was flash chromed in the rebuild efforts after WWII, so that is a correct armory update of a 43 barrel.
