Bumped into an old buddy of mine, haven't seen him in years, and we started talking about firearms....mainly AR's.
He told me he had sold most of his stuff and that he had a few parts laying around, and I was more than welcomed
to them.  I said "Sure!"  Most of it was the small parts....delta rings, flash hiders, gas tubes, buffer tubes, buttstock,
some handguards, but the best part was this barrel........I feel a build coming on






Only markings on the barrel was the M1. Anyone know the specs of this barrel?...1/12 or 1/14?

That's an EARLY Colt 601 barrel...

1/14 twist and yes you scored! Its probably worth a pretty penny to the right retro junky...

thanks for the link.  As I sit here looking over the barrel, the wife is standing in the doorway shaking her head and I think
she wants to do this to me.  She can read my mind and knows whats coming.  I'll buy her some shoes, and a new
purse, and things will be fine.

You did well. You don't find those everyday that is for sure.

She's just jealous.  Let her do the build and she'll come around
