Bought a Winchester M14 barrel on Gunbroker and received it today. I've never seen a Winchester M14 barrel stamp--can someone verify that this is indeed Winchester? Not sure what else it could possible be, but just want to make sure.
Finish is good and muzzle wear is less than 1. But not sure how to measure throat erosion. Do you measure from where the chamber begins? Or the threads? If the chamber, then it measures 2. If the threads, it measures 4. Either way, not nearly as tight as my H&R. Also seem to see a bit of rust on the rifling near the muzzle. Not bad, but noticeable.
What do you all think--keeper or returner? I should say that I got it for what I consider to be a good price. I might use it for a Winchester/LRB build, or I may just go with my H&R barrel.
