Working on a Tanker M1 Garand, using a Winchester receiver...

[lyman]

the 4-44 for $109 has been sleeved,
you can see the machining marks on the barrel where it was blended or smoothed out and what looks like the line from the sleeve,

the other is hard to say, he does not show any markings very well, but it is a cut down

Thanks. I suspected a red flag, especially for the price and date but didn't know about it being sleeved.

The cut down barrel wasn't listed at the time I made my post. There was another one, low price and bad pictures. No makers markings.

years ago Garand barrels were hard to get, so some enterprising gunsmiths etc took 1903 barrels, and worn M1 barrels and grafted them together,
same happened with some Johnson 1941 barrels,

you still see them from time to time, and the tell is the ring just forward of the chamber for the M1's,

Barrels for some commercial M1 carbines were also made from 1903 barrels. The gas cylinder block was welded on. I know you've seen them. I bought a group of them years ago and couldn't figure out why some were 4 grove rifling and some were 2 grove till I found out they were made from the '03 barrels.
