RA is Remington, it's a 1903A3 barrel. Look down the bore and see if it's 2 or 4 groove. Probably 2 -
A82 (sure it's not A32??) is the steel lot code."We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst."

Full of grease...will check though. Is there a big difference between 2-4 grove ? One more valuable ?Comment

Just check at the tip, you don't need to remove very much. Sent you a PMComment

An 8-44 will be 2-groove."We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst."

2 groove !Comment

2-groove barrels were introduced about mid-1943 and used exclusively on production Remington M1903A3s and for replacement barrels after that time. They are extremely common."We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst."
