Bigdibbs88 Posted September 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Thank you for the confirmation Jim. Was AOC making BAR's in WWII? Or would this have been a subcontracted part or just a spare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyardslug Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Auto Ordnance was one of the smaller barrel subcontractor for New England Small Arms Corp. About 1/10th of the 'Original equipment' NESA barrels were made by Auto Ordnance. Tthere is no way of telling which of the three subcontractors made NESA marked barrels, and NESA also supplied spare barrels as part of their contract. But yes, as Roscoe stated, a AOC marked barrel indicates this was a replacement barrel as Auto Ordnance had a separate contract to supply the gov with replacement barrels.
