Gentlemen,
I have an M1 (SA 02-1944 mfg date) with a new replacement barrel. The barrel is unmarked. It gages fore and aft as unfired.
I recently read an article about an M1A blowing up because of an improperly heat treated barrel, which was also unmarked, in other words no date, no manufacturer, etc.
Please advise: should I find a GI barrel and have a gunsmith install it?
Regard,
