Are Colt 14.5 M4 barrels Cold Hammer Forged?

I was wondering, are the current manufacture m4 barrels CHF?

Nope, at least they aren't marked so. I just looked at a pile of replacement barrels in an arms room and they appeared to be non-CHF. I wouldn't let it dissuade you though, Colt makes a good barrel.

So if colt has the tdp and they use button rifling, does that mean any company with chf barrels are not milspec (also besides barrel length and auto sear)

Dude, how hard it is it to use proper spelling and grammar? This isn't ARFCOM. You will not be taken seriously typing like a child.
