[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2540431, member: 68875"] I [I] think[/I] those markings indicate: Shilen (obvious) .243 = bore diameter C = chromemoly 10 = twist rate 4 = groove count Usually, Shilen has an "S" stamp for stainless. And "SM" would indicate a Select Match barrel. The slight surface rust kind of hints at CM too. I had a stainless Select Match for years, and it was a shooter. [/QUOTE]
