The barrel I bought had 4 pics of some of the typical things M1 Carbine know to take pics of. When I got it it had HEAVY external pitting which was strategically hidden in the pics. I bid top dollar at about $320. When I complained about why he didn't disclose it or take pics of it, it was "oh, I kinda remember some sort of pitting. I didn't remember to mention it." The barrels have a gas cylinder underneath which has a small hole to aid in cleaning if you remove the cyl. It was cracked, welded up, painted and cracked again. "Oh, I didn't realize it was cracked. I'm old and can't see that well. I'm retired on a fixed income." Sending it back insured and delivery confirmation, which is required by ebay dispute resolution center, cost me $20 which you don't get back. A junk barrel had to go back insured.
