m1 barrel
- Thread starter m1a1969
- Start date
I downloaded this from Culver's shooting Page:
"Buffalo Arms Corp
Buffalo Arms manufactured replacement barrels for the M1 Rifle with the following revisions:
D-35448-13- BA D-35448-19-BA D-35448-22-BA these are WW2 revision numbers
Most of these barrels have the F.J.A. stamp and the flaming bomb stamp
Chrome plated gas port area did not start until after WW2, but sometimes barrels were salvaged during war production by chrome in the area around the gas port ."
R 93 might be a Buffalo Arms code or other wartime code. Sounds like you have a WW2 replacement M1 barrel
