i have what appears to be a brand new standard wieght m14 barrel marked SGW-7791362-11-82-45346 it does not appear to have ever been mounted to a receiver it is not chromed lined and the bore and chamber are in the white,however the bore and chamber appear to be stained or corroded from possible poor storage or parkerising solution getting in the bore or possible corrosive proof ammo[it does have a large "M"and"P"marked near the chamber] my question is this, is this one of the SGW barrels made from a defective batch of steel?[it is standard,not medium weight] should it be short chambered?[it does not appear to be]is this a usgi contract barrel?,would this barrel be safe to use?,any info would be great :D

thank you for the reply mr Ricca. i strongly suspect that this barrel is a rejected barrel due to the staining in the barrel and unusual chamber markings. i have heard that there was problems with meduim wieght SGW nm barrels that caused a few to blow up, this barrel appears to be a standard weight barrel i guess that it will soon be table fodder at a gunshow,thanks for the information.
