I bought this barrel, which looks new to me, a few years ago from another fellow. He said he was collecting parts to put together a 1950 SA M1 for his father, as he had carried one in Korea. His father passed away I think he said, before he could complete the project. I have a late 50's M1 that I shoot, so I bought this as an extra barrel. Now I am thinking of selling it separately as I don't need it.
I assume it is a Springfield Amory barrel manufactured in September 1950. That would make it Korean War era. I have seen another on EBay used and about this date for $350.
Can anyone tell me more about this barrel and what it is worth? Are they hard to come by for someone rebuilding a rifle from that time?
Sorry I don't have photos right now, but can take some to show numbers and condition if anyone is interested. Rifling looks pristine to me. Entire barrel does.
Thanks,
