I inherited stainless .30 barrel from my father. It was made sometime before 1994, quite possibly in the late 60's or early 70's. The bore looks good, no rust. The barrel is 28 inches long and 1.25 inches in diameter. It is a straight cylinder, no taper, The muzzle is marked "muzzle" Between 9 and 9.5 lbs or so.
The base of the barrel is stamped as follows:
WG
1/11
2989
and underneath that
3076
There is a red paint mark on the base as well.
I tried to post a picture, but I could not figure it out.
1.Does the mark "WG" at the base end ring a bell with anyone?
2. What is the significance of the red mark?
3. Is this barrel, finished at 25 or 26 inches, too heavy to hang on a post-64 Winchester action? I have a target stock with a wide channel.
Thanks in advance for your wisdom,
