    Another WW2 barrel manufacturer

    Buffalo Arms manufactured M1icon rifle and carbine barrels during WW2. I have found the following revisions: revision 13, revision 19 and revision 22 on M1 rifle barrels.Attachment 22963Attachment 22962

    Anyone else found any additional revisions ?

    These barrels are not dated.

    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. Brian Dick ...

    If you had asked me before I read this, I would have said BA was Benicia Armoury. Now there's one more thing to watch for.

    Buffalo Arms Corp

    Attachment 23000The Buffalo Arms Corp was located in New York state and during WW2, manufactured Browning machine gun parts. They also manufactured M1icon carbine barrels for new production carbines. They manufactured M1 rifle barrels as replacements used during WW2 and the post war years. Buffalo Arms also published a monthy newsletter for employees titled "The Accelerator", I have some of these newsletters.

    The revision 13 BA barrel in the photo was installed in a 80,000 receiver and has the swaging roll to correct a light draw on the barrel.
