I have included a picture of a barrel I have sitting around, and was wondering if any of you can identify for me, what it is. When I purchased it I believed it was a M4 profile barrel, but now, after getting ready to put my carbine upper together, I am just not totally sure what I have here. I bought an older carrying handle (no brass deflector or forward assist) upper with this particular barrel attached. I also have another barrel eactly like this one that was still int eh factory wrap! I bought these barrels about 5 years ago at a gun show in California.
The barrel measures 14.5 inches long, and has the following stamped on the top, just forward of the FSB:
C MP
5.56 NATO 1/7
I initially was thinking this barrel was off an older style Commando or AF GUU-5P style carbine, but lately I am thinking I might have a genuine M4 profile barrel.
I know little about the M4 platform, but would like my carbine upper to be as correct as possible. If you can identify these barrels, what are they worth today? I may offer one of them up for sale on the forum, so I can afford a true M4 profiled barrel.
Thanks for your time
