Just by a quick glance, James' set shows "IMP. CYL" whereas the photo Greg posted does not seem to have a period after IMP and before CYL
Maybe it's just not showing up well on my computer?
Greg, your photo does seem to indicate rubbing of some sort over the legends, and James' water-tables appear to be sans bluing. Wonder if Regeant used MOD/FULL barrels as a basis to provide customers with IC/MOD brls upon request in order to accommodate client's desire for that choking at that length w/out creating another category of stock? I have a set of 28" 20ga Q1/Q2 barrels..seems I should have a close look to see if anything seems out of order, like the stamps were altered in any way, but I don't recall anything out of the ordinary from memory.
Not the best photo's but here's a few shots of the Q1/Q2 markings on my 20ga brls for posterity. They look clean to me.
