M1 Garand TE

How does a TE of 3.75 rate on an M1 Garand barrel?

I've got a Garand that would be judged to be completely fried but still comes pretty close to holding the x ring on a SR target at 200 yards. My point is, at the shorter ranges it's not too relevant. When you start getting out there the throat erosion starts to matter and really show.
The muzzle wear number is a different matter. That number is the number of S--- heads that used a sectioned cleaning rod to clean the thing during the life of the barrel. Or it's an indication of cleaning rod wear. A training brigade rifle can have nearly no throat erosion but has been "cleaned to death".
