I'm curious to see if someone could explain the various stamps/markings on my 11-87 barrel?

Specifically, there's an "X" stamp and I want to confirm that it's not indicating a defective barrel?

If it helps/matters, the serial number begins with "PC". I bought it "never fired"/as new with the original green hard case, etc. Based on what I've gathered, that seems to indicate a June, 1982 manufacture date?
If it is an 1187, I doubt it was manufactured in 82.

Yeah, I wasn't really thinking when I looked that up/wrote that...I also noticed that PC is June 2008 which would make sense.

PC627181 is a June 2005 build so yours will follow before or after
Thanks, the serial number on mine is PC3428.. so I assume it was made some time before yours.
I have Special Purpose Turkey serial # PC384830 and original barrel code says "AN". Checks out at 1993. Gets you a little closer. Cheers
Thanks, that's helpful.
