Anyone recognize the headstamp on this blank?

[citation7]

Have a blank I picked up from an estate several years ago and have never been able to identify the maker.
- 6 groove button rifled (std. enfield 90 deg land edges, not particulary tall though)
- interior finish is good (obviously lapped, a few reamer marks here and there)
- 1.23 x 2.5 shank / .955 going to .840 at 24 (roughly a Rem Var contour)

Any insight appreciated!

PacNor stamps this way. Let me send a pic of one of their barrels tonight.

Also, they only offer their CM in the white.

looks like the Shilen blanks I get from Midway. Stamped very similar.

I don't think it's a Shilen. As I recall they have a large chamfer on the OD.

And they usually have a lot smoother finish on the breech end plus if it comes from brownells they have that sticker jesus cant remove. I turn them off between centers

Shilen has Shilen stamped on them.

Hart? Just a guess as they do make a lot of six groove button rifles barrels.

Hey, thank you for the input. If you can send a pic that would be great. Newer pacs tend to have pacnor stamped but their old blanks I dont know about. Thx.

Man I'm sorry, I thought I still had one. Looks like I need to take inventory.
Sorry.

I bet if you called Kathy or Jay at pacnor they could verify it. They're great people.

Not a Hart, Hart stamping is just the caliber and a serial number like this one. Thanks for the reply though!

Not a Criterion. This one was born a little bit before Criterion was. Appreciate the reply!

Looks a lot like a Douglas XX inside to me, but alas Douglas, even in the early days, stamped their name into them.
