M1 NM barrel

[Johnny P]

Very early M1 Rifle National Match barrel. Had the barrel for years, but never cleaned any of the dried grease and grime off. Cleaned it off and a barrel transferred to the NM program. Still has the black plastic end caps.

Marked S-A 1-52

I probably wouldn't have paid much attention to the marking, but something told me I had seen that same marking somewhere before. After a little searching I found it in a paper the Major Dick Culver had sent me that he did on the National Match rifles about 2000. There was a photo of the same type barrel.
