Hi Guys!
I found what I believe to be a colt carbine barrel assembly but it is marked on the front of the barrel forward of the front sight assembly on the top of the barrel behind the muzzle nut c mp chrome bore. I am used to seeing this marking in that location but on the bottom not the top side of the barrel. I havn't had a close look inside it yet but am hoping it is 1/12 twist. Anybody know what I found? Thanks for any assistance barrel ID Gods! |

Forgot to mention it is a pencil style barrel.

Check out the carbine parts thread at the top - It mentions that both 1:12 and 1:7 early 723 barrels were marked that way. Seems to me I remember someone who knows mentioning that the 1:7 were marked that way on top to provide a small difference. If it IS a 1:7 pencil barrel, you have a rare bird.

I'll also add that it appears to be colt gray in color rather than black.
I did have a look at the variation guides both here and on black rifle and none address the location or how to tell the two apart other than looking inside and I'm not certain I'm good enough to tell by looking at the twist inside. Many thanks for the reply.anyone else? |

Now I'm curious ..I want the 1/12 twist but given the rarity of the 1/7 twist what is the going price on one of those?

All the late "Chrome Bore" marked barrels are marked on top. Also, is the piece 14 1/2 inches or 16 inches? If 16", it's almost certainly an SP1 or SP2 pull off and almost certainly 1 in 12.  14 1/2" could be either.
