Hi,
I'm trying to determine if my 03' sporter has a 03' barrel or a Shilen aftermarket barrel on it.

Do aftermarket barrel have that tapered chamber face or are they flat?

the one to the left is military...I'm guessing.

Do aftermarket barrel get cut like that too?

For a Springfield or 1917 US Enfield, they would be coned like a military barrel. Normally, anyway. Some gunsmiths have been known to dispense with that step when fitting a new barrel.
