I have a take-off M50 .270 barrel.
Barrel 22" long, including the threaded shank.
It has a very short, 3/4"long, cylindrical portion just in front of the receiver. Diameter is 1.211"
There is then a quick taper in about an inch to about .975". (hard to measure accurately)
After that it appears to be a straight taper to the muzzle.
Diameter at muzzle is .550.
This is one of those weird barrels with the rear sight dovetail just in front of the receiver.
I have removed both front and rear sights, but the front ramp is still present.
Weight on an accurate electronic scale is 2 lb. 7.5 oz.

Is this one of the barrels with the dovetail cut over the chamber?
