Whats the going rate for an M50 barrel?

They really don't come on the market often enough to establish a going rate. FWIW Numrich lists repops at $143 but they're out of stock. IIRC I saw one recently for around $250 w/o the compensator. Last I heard comp prices were in the $75-100 range but that was a while back.

Yours is 14 fin "military" barrel not an earlier "commercial" barrel which had 28 fins (The military and commercial designations are for descriptive convenience only and are not necessarily an accurate description of the gun's provenance.) It is however blued rather than parkered so either it has been refinished or it came from a "transitional" gun that was manufactured between April and September of 1942. There are no extant records of military serial numbers so there is no way of determining if it was from a military, police or security gun

 

All of this is in Frank Iannamico's book, of which you have a copy, on pages 23, 47-50 and 199. It's worth a read.

 

As for the price, let your conscience be your guide. I'll, only say that I am fairly certain that it will sell at $300 (not to me, I have a spare).

Whatever helps you sleep at night. If Im dishonest then so be it in your mind. I made my comment based on what I purchased a barrel for recently. My apologies for not falling all over myself.

 

Have a good one, Im out.
