Thought so. But..... Is there a (1) digit in front of the barrel serial number? My M11 is serial numbered 1305XX. A call to the Remington Historical Dept. told me that it was made in 1912. If your barrel has a "1" in front of the serial you gave, that would mean your barrel was made before mine ...
