I was just given a SA garand barrel and would like to build a cast gun in 30 cal does it sound like a good idea to rethread this for a mauser action I have or should i just trade it for a more sutable tube? The bore is clean with sharp shiny rifleing. It has S-A-46 and the Springfield logo stamped on the upper side and that apears to be a MIL number on the bottom.

By all means find someone in need of a good, original M1 barrel - there are plenty of folks looking for them, and they are becoming hard to find in that shape. Also, because of the dimensions and previous external shaping, it is not a good candidate for fitting to a bolt gun. Trade it or sell it off and get a more suitable barrel.

I no longer am thinking about this project due to I have found a good home for this barrel.
