Muzzle punch optional.
Sorry, had to do that.
Spike's does do a melonite treatment and such which is unlike others (in that it's fairly distinct). I would suppose the conditions the barrels are in when shipped to the different manufacturers differs. In other words, the chome lining and finish of the barrels is not done at FN for Spikes, but may be done for other companies otherwise. Is this a fair assumption?
Just here to learn.

djmorris,
Not to bring this of topic now but I going with TROY folding Battlesights. I already have them but forgot to post it. I am going to run an optic on this rifle but haven't decided what to do with so thats still up in the air.
BOOooo
I know its not necessarily an "obsession", just that it seems that "FN" has become the new "milspec" for AR's. The fact that a companies barrel is made by FN seems to be a big advertising point recently. I think its more over hyped than anything. Just because FN makes it doesn't necessarily mean its true FN-grade quality. They will make it to the specs of how the customer wants it.

I think it is a selling point though. Like a DD CHF barrel, you're starting from a certain quality point. Also, it presents an opportunity for some to buy a barrel that may not have previously been affordable to them. Not a bad thing. As the discussion above, it's hard to say what happens after that and it's going to be awhile before we know.
Finished the build and was able to take it out and run it for the first time. Wasn't much of a day but was able to run 60 flawless rounds threw her. I know this isn't much of a test yet but being this is my first build I was more than happy the rifle functioned perfectly. As a matter of fact my wife was so impressed with it that when we got home we placed a order for a Rainer Arms upper, Rainer Arms Zombie lower, Daniel Defense BCG, and Daniel Defense LW CHF 16" barrel for her. This was her first time firing a rifle and she loved it and is excited to start building her own rifle. I will be updating with pics in the Custom build forum when I finally get around to it but just wanted to share this.
