Yeah,I have one of those replacement barrels as well,except Mine is 9-47.I think these were being used in the rebuild program late to post War...I think this was the SA/SHM period,and this particular rebuild program went until December of '47.Originally Posted by LEAD POISON

1946, 1947, 1948, 1949 and 1950. It is believed that 1950 is when they started to chrome all gas pads. I don't think anyone has found one yet without chrome. I had examples of them all(except 1950) without chrome, only have a 46 and 49 left.

I've got a 12/46 and a 6/49 on a couple of my rifles. No chrome.
Some people are like slinkies.
They aren't good for much, but they do bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
Interesting, Maybe I only paid attention to the war barrels.
