From the markings and profile, can anyone ID the maker of this barrel? It's a 16"

If it isn't durable, it isn't reliable.

Kinda looks like this barrel, but on their picture, the engraving looks stamped or engraved. Not lasered like in the picture you posted.

I have a PSA barrel with that exact profile and the same marking, in the same place, and same style/method. Note the very slight step in front of the gas block where a middy FSB would mount. Its a 0.006 diameter change, just in front of the journal. You can barely feel it with a fingernail, but its visible in good lighting. And the more pronounced step in front of where a rifle length FSB would be. 0.65-0.66” back from the shoulder; 0.055” diameter change. 2.8” from the front step should put your calipers between the N and the A in NATO on the marking.
My barrel is a mock dissipator.
Show us a closeup of the barrel threads/shoulder, and I may be able to confirm that it is PSA. It should have a small false shoulder roughly 9/16” in diameter.

After mentioning PSA, am thinking it's one of theirs.
Either way, very poor quality, has tool chatter marks about mid bore, plain to see with a bore scope.

Kind of reminds me of a Faxon or one of the others that uses Melonite instead of phosphate. I could be crazy though. Lol.

All I know is that it had very few rounds through it, less than 2,000 and it already is showing wear about half way down the barrel.

I had a DD MK18 HF barrel that started keyholing at about 15-1800. But I had seen a few hundred full auto rounds so I figured we just overheated it and dedicated it to a dirt shooting demo barrel for the machine gun. Strange shit happens. Where did you get it?Originally Posted by wichaka

A friend's AR blew up. The barrel survived, but putting a scope down it...it looks like whomever made it, had some problems with the rifling...pitting already as well.
Am rebuilding it, but using a BA barrel.
