If FN does not make M4 barrels, who is making the barrels so FN can fulfill its military contract?

This latest decision makes FN the only maker of both M16A4s and M4 carbine variants for the U.S. Military (I think.) The majority of the contract will supply M4A1s to the Army as part of its ongoing effort to upgrade its fleet of M4s.

I was kind of hoping for an 11.5... I hope they do all 3 -- 10.5, 11.5 and 12.5. That said, I'm even more curious as to how their LW is going to come out...
I'd probably use one of these for my next build. Would snatch up a LW when they come out.
I just hope they can make enough of the 16" LW units with Centurion CMR rails when they get around to that.

I have been mulling over one of these barrels for the past couple days. For some reason, I keep going back and forth on this build I'm currently working on and can't make up my mind. Has anyone shot one of these barrels yet? If so, what kind of accuracy can I expect? I've been considering the 16" or 18".
Does anyone have one of these barrels?
I'm trying to figure out if the 18" is accurate enough for a SPR build. I emailed Rainier and they told me I could expect 1 MOA from them. I'm just trying to stay light and feel that the SS barrels aren't worth the increase in weight for the slight increase in accuracy. I'm not trying to win any matches with 5" groups at 500 yards but I do want something capable of decent accuracy out to 500 yards.
I have the 18" in my thread here:

Waiting on a Precision Armament AFAB before I shoot it (it's arriving tomorrow). I'M EXCITE!
