  1. I recently purchased a M1 carbine barrel chambered in 5.7 Johnson. It is a shame this carbine was parted out. The seller said it was USGI receiver and parts. The barrel is blued and the only mark is a number 6. (or maybe a 9) I would like to have a carbine re-barreled with it and understand there are some concerns I should be aware of. I have been interested since I was a kid in the late 60's when I saw a carbine in 5.7 Johnson pictured in a Williams Gun Sight catalog. The catalog also featured William's "1 of 50" M1 Carbines and almost fifty years later I was able to purchase one of those. So now it is time for a 5.7 Johnson carbine. Any help is appreciated, Rich
  2. Hi Dave, yes the number on this barrel would be just in front of the receiver and the gas block is brazed onto the barrel. I don't have a photo. Rich
