how to tell barrels

[bankwalker]

so im doing a job for some ladie and i was in her basement and found a box full of rifle stocks and barrels...no actions that i seen.

anyway i know what all the stocks go to. but i cant for the light of me figure out what the barrels go to.

the only one i found that had markings was a ruger barrel.

First guess is 10/22.
You probably already know swapping barrels and stocks on 10/22's and 77/22's is easy and common.

the ruger barrel was a 30-06 22" barrel. also they had a manlicher (sp) stock from a ruger aswell.

What is she doing with them?

[bankwalker]

nothing that i know of.

he dad was a gunsmith from my understanding. there is just a random box of rifle stocks and barrels. 243 through 30-06. the stocks are mostly from older military rifles. though there is a remington model 722 stock and ruger stock.

i just dont know if its worth trying to get because i have no idea what any of the barrels are from besides the one ruger barrel.

it seems odd that if they were factory barrels they don't have something on them identifying them. maybe they are aftermarket barrels? maybe the stocks and barrels were sacrificed for the actions? do the stocks match the barrels i wonder.

nope that was the first thing i checked.

i think they are factory stocks. a couple of them have factory stamps but they are so old and worn its hard to read. i didnt actually get a good chance to look at them. and i wouldnt even know where to begin in trying to figure out which rifle models they would go to.

ill be back tomarrow and im gonna try and get a better idea. and hopefully the ladie will let me take a few of them.
