the gunsmith should have so marked the barrel . . but not unusual, i bought a wildcat chambered rifle a few years ago without any information stamped on the barrel

good luck . . lets hope the throat/twist is to your liking

let us know how you get on . . .

yeah it was a WTF moment, barrel stamped 30-06 no AI any where. even the ammo I got with it was not AI, did a visual down the barrel but not bore scoped so didn't see the AI shoulder. was told it was fired before i brought it. but it wasn't even sighted in. I am picking that they didn't know what they had fired a round saw the case shape had changed and had a WTF moment and sold it thinking it wasn't right. accuracy is not to bad but once I get some dies I will dill it in. bed it lighten trigger and so on. recoil is pretty good boots less then my 6.5-06. need to look at what twist it has will run bore scope down it later. it has a black mountain barrel on it. who ever fitted the barrel did a nice job of it. looking forward to seeing how this cannon blossoms. Have 3mm stamps so will put AI on it for future reference.
