I would say your barrel is a replacement, SA 1953 barrels were found on early 5 mil IHC rifles -
That barrel COULD be original to the receiver. SA helped IHC out in the very beginning by supplying barrels and receivers.
I would like to see a pic of the heel stamping on your IHC. Gap letter IHC's are generally accepted as being in the 4.6 million and 5.1- very early 5.2 million range. Also would like to see a pic of the numbers above the right front leg. You COULD have an SA/IHC receiver as well.
It's an interesting number in itself. IHC was originally supposed to start their s/n's at 4.44 million, but shortly after they started, it was lowered to 4.40 million. You could have a semi-rare receiver. The only thing certain about the IHC's is that nothing is certain.

Can you post photos of not just the heel but the entire receiver, barrel markings, T-G, op rod markings, gas cylinder and any stock markings.Comment

SA did help but not in the 4 mil range. Need to show a up close ,clear picture of what is stamped on side of barrel. The punch mark will tell the storyComment

No Im asking about what is stamped on side of barrel behind op rod. Punch mark will tell if its a original or replacement barrel as I suspectComment
