I searched for a bit, (didn't contact Brownells yet) but couldn't find the manufacturer of this specific barrel. Faxon? Aero? Haven't seen a lot of chrome lined ones like this lately.

Faxon made their retro line a few years ago. TOS probably has more info, since it is owned by Brownells.

This would be interesting to find out. Had no idea Faxon made the retro for awhile.

Rosco has a similar product in the bargain bin on their site. They produce barrels for other mfg's so not a stretch to think it could be.

I don't think Faxon does chrome-lined. or Ballistic Advantage, for that matter. JMHO.

None currently on their websites, maybe discontinued items at Brownells.

Ballistic Advantage does Chrome lined and CHF. Not saying that they make the Brownells barrels, just an FYI

Faxon makes/made an 8.5" 300BO barrel for Rainier. I bought one from their Whichita store a couple of years ago.

I stand corrected, I see now that BA does do CL barrels. interesting. That's new news. good to know.

Got the barrel the other day, scoped it, and it looks nice. FYI: This barrel has rifle feed ramps. And the front sight sure seems to measure out to "F" height, even though the description says no "F" marks.

maybe you should post this little information nugget as a review for the barrel on the Brownells item page? just a suggestion, for others that come along.

Words you'll never see me type. I hope you got a good one. At least if there's problems, Brownells will make good. Faxon did nothing for us.

Who is "us" and what were they supposed to do for you?
