but why on the new barrel? why swap it out before you shoot it?

Nice rifle
i hope it gives you lots of fun.
The armorer’s manual gives a good explanation for re-barreling. It’s not plug and play.

It took me 3 years to find an NOS barrel that matches the barrel in my M1.

NM barrels are getting scarce. I’m thousands of rounds from needing to replace this barrel, but I won’t have to find one when the time comes.

I didn’t have to measure mine (bought from a guy going through a divorce and needed lawyer money) I found out how bad my barrel was by running a brush down it and once it got past the muzzle, there was no resistance til the chamber end. No resistance like in I don’t think the brush wires were even touching all the way around.

Never shot it and just bought and had a new barrel installed on it. I looked at a good used one but gave that up as I’m not that concerned about everything matching on it. I love shooting them and that was always my end goal with it anyway. Mine is an early WWII ser number.
