Hi, I recently ran across a Quality Hardware M1 carbine with a 7 digit number on the barrel. I (admittedly as a new collector) have found no evidence that US manufacturers put numbers on barrels. Am I missing something, or is it some post-war manufacture/import. Any info is most appreciated. Best! Steve |

Couple things I have to ask.
Does the number match the carbines serial# on the receiver? Where is the number located on the barrel? Is it stamped or etched? If possible, a picture would be helpful.
