Thanks for the answer.... It would have been too simple to have indicated Hart barrels....
However, that doesn't explain why some have them and some don't... That stamp is on the left side of my rifles immeadiately following the caliber stamp, two are on factory SS bbls and one is on a blue barrel. The rifles with the stamp, do not have barrel manfucturing codes on them... What gives with that?
My 40X bbl in 6mm Rem is marked with the twist (1~12) and the manfucturing code (BQ) indicating Jan '78 production... but does NOT have the heart shaped stamp... Hmmmm... A mystery, no?
