Just got this on trade. From my research it seems to be a gm or h&r barrel any input?

Has forge markings on the FSB and bayonet lug=Hydramatic

Nice find!

I have one with markings on the barrel just like that. Except, my front sight base has a sideways 8, on the ejection port side, and an upside down F on the other.

I happen to have a gm upper so i guess im finally doing a gm build. I sold my gm lower

I'm kicking myself in the ass now. I took the barrel off and sold the upper, which now I know, was a Hydramatic upper. If I knew then what I know now...

Looks cool, can you post pics of the right and left sides of the upper receiver?  Would you say that one is black?  (what does it look like next to a newer black lower)

That's a really cool barrel! Does the front sight base have forging flash, or was it ground smooth?

Thanks for posting that, can you post one of the other side?  :)  Just to confirm, no forging flash left on the front?  Are there tool marks that run side to side where the front forging flash was?

Another nice score, can you post some more pictures of it?  Does it have the flat spot on the right side of the "T" ?  (Where are you getting all of this stuff????)

WpnsMan, what do you know about these charging handles with the row / rows of dots along the back?
