I went shooting on Saturday and the guy next to me was really interested in the barrel manufactures of my rifle. Grant had built the upper for me last year and I can no longer find the receipt. After taking the lower part of VIS I can see the N stamping on the barrel, see image link below. http://picasaweb.google.com/isakhnov...67299605938834
GotM4 is likely correct, but to be sure, go to the front and look under the rail - peek through the vent holes. Noveske has more markings than that I think...mine does atleast.
