Does it have a Hatcher Hole? For a 6/42 barrel, the Marines would have installed the Hatcher Hole as well.
The vise marks are a fuzz different than I've seen before, but I don't know if I would worry about that. I've seen 6/42 SA barrels on Marine rebuilds before.
The bolt does not have the Marine modifications they would have done, when they would have screwed on that barrel, but it could have been swapped sometime later. So I do think the bolt has been swapped at one point.
I would be curious if it has the Hatcher Hole. I'm really betting it does have one. Does it?

Looks good to me !! Any numbers on the bolt ?? Like Steve stated, Marines liked to enlarge the gas escape hole in the earlier bolts they re-used.
Thanks for sharing !!

Hole is still standard. No numbers on bolt. Whats up with the P on the stock? I don't recognize that style or size ?

I figured it would have the Hatcher hole. I really didn't have much of a doubt. But in my opinion, I believe it is a Marine rifle.
That large P. There is some speculation it might actually be Marine. I've heard a few guys that I really respect, say they found evidence of it. So you never know.

Does anyone have any ideas about the crown on the barrel. I don't think it was shortened

JB stated to me that it is particular to USMC rifles. I have one with the large "P" on it.That large P. There is some speculation it might actually be Marine. I've heard a few guys that I really respect, say they found evidence of it.
That is the standard flat crown used in the 40's as a time saving option.
Does anyone have any ideas about the crown on the barrel.
HTH,
