Just picked up a complete FN M16A2 upper to use as NRA across the course rifle. Are the FN barrels as good as the Colts?

It seems that Colt - Connecticut barrels are button rifled while FN barrels are hammer forged. Plus Colt has not always had perfect QC. So you probably did better with the FN upper.

Let's see it!

while FN barrels are hammer forged.


FN M16 barrels are not hammer forged.
