Unusual 1903 barrel
I'm hoping someone can help me identify an unusual 1903 Springfield barrel I just a acquired. It was part of a group of items I acquired from the estate of a long time collector. It is 24" in length and is still in the white. It is proofed with the ordinance P. It is larger in diamter than a normal barrel being 1.18" diameter at the receiver and .65" at the muzzle. It has multiple drawing numbers on it - C64272 & C64160. It also has stamped on it REP 11A, S-A over F, and B-440. Stamped in an oval is something that looks like a Winchester marking but I can't be sure. It also has 29 stamped in two places (which I'm guessing could be the year). It came in a government wrapper which is marked "one each Bbl B4 - 1-90" (which I'm guessing is when the governmnt disposed of it). Any information would be much appreciated. Thanks!
