Not sure who made them, but one of the VFW's I take care of has several of it's rifles with a marking very similar to that. These barrels have a 3-62 date on them and have the three legged A or I and V intertwined. They are on welded rifles so they made it into the US supply system long ago. I posted the same question on the old Jouster and did not get an answer.

take a picture of the barrel turned another 90 degrees (1/4 rotation) up from your current picture. On the side with the op rod arm it should say who made it.

This looks like a barrel off the $100 barreled receivers I have seen a the North Store, they seem to have a bunch of stampings on the fat part of the barrel.

I was just about to ask the same question. I just got a $100 barreled receiver the other day, My barrel has an H96 and the letter N. I was after the receiver, I not sure if this will be usable, it has a lot of pitting on the heal and barrel end.

No other markings anywhere else on the barrel.It does deliver 3" groups at 100 yrds, so it's not to bad for a plinker.
I have been asked about the condition of the receiver,here are some pics after light rubbing w/fine steel wool, and oil,







and Yes,those are repro Winnie lockbars.
