ID'ing a Colt Barrel?

[ucrt]

.

I purchased a barrel at a local gun show believing it to be a Colt barrel based on that little “C” seen in one of the pictures.

It is missing a few markings that I’ve seen on other Colt barrels, such as high pressure testing and mag particle inspection but it has some common Colt markings.
The pictures below are the only markings I could find.

- Does anyone recognize if this barrel is really a Colt?
- Would someone maybe have the history or data used to ID it?
- Why does it not have the other Colt barrel markings?

Thanks

Maybe it’s just me…

Is it a normal M4 barrel?

It could be from one of those Expanses or one of them Colt Competition Rifles that were Colt in Name Only. They weren't Hartford guns.

Newer Colt barrels read:

I3629 M P
5.56 NATO 1/7

I don't believe it is. That C most likely means chrome-lined. A picture of the entire barrel would be nice.

Others here will be better able to tell you.

Ive bought several colt barrels. None have looked like that.

As suggested, include more pics and specifics about the barrel.

Based on what I see so far, it does not look like typical Colt.

Is just the chamber chromed or the note also?

The chamber does not appear to have chrome lining only the bore and it is evident looking into and down in the bore.

In one of the pictures, I read somewhere that the "C or G with the dot in the center" (or whatever that stamp is) in front of the index pin was indicating Colt chrome lining??
It is supposed to be a SOCOM pattern barrel.
I'll get a picture of the whole barrel up in a minute.
Thanks
