Looking for an undated earlier Win barrel with plenty of patina and type I band marks. The receiver has a lot of character and needs a similar condition barrel. The current W barrel is rough and pitted.

| I have a new GI barrel in the cosmoline with barrel band and sights installed ready to go! Still in the barrel wrap. We unwrapped a bit to show someone the condition. |

If it's like the NOS early assembly I have in the original canvas and paper wrapping it won't have the patina this setup needs. It's a well seasoned receiver. The rear flip and receiver are even browning from it. That's what I'm hoping to find. A well seasoned one.

| This is a Winchester G.I. replacement Barrel I will have to check to see what the date is on it. But it is a complete assembly ready to install. It has the front sight, barrel band and installed gas piston with nut already crimped. It is not a previously used barrel it is still in the cosoline and overwrap. |

By replacement do you mean it's the normal type or it's the later one they made like IBM with the I milled front sight keyway? What type of barrel band? And how far back is the WP on the barrel? |

I probably don't want the barrel because the condition will be too good, but I DO want people to be informed on what they're buying to avoid disappointments. Because there are late contract/post war Win barrels made like IBMs that came with type III barrel bands usually marked with a W near the swivel. I've got one of those too. These are considered rebuild contract barrel assemblies. |

I will photograph the barrel and also take a close look at it as well. NO sense taking any chances of misrepresenting what I have. Not in my nature to rip someone off. I know the feeling!! Thanks y’all! Mark
