On the Barrel right before the front sight is marked 01/05, Other then that no other markings. Im thinking is a cortracted barrel for the military but not sure. Any thoughts?

    sounds strange for a .mil barrel that there isn't any markings like 556 NATO 1/7

    Are there any markings on the barrel itself, maybe back around the
    chamber area?

    There should be at least a caliber marked somewhere?

    Where did you get it?
    Maybe you can trace it backwards that way?

    Is it possible that it used to be a longer barrel that was shortened and most of the marking were removed in the process?

    It is a Colt barrel that probably didn't get any barrel markings.

    I checked the whole barrel for markings and those were the only ones on the barrel. I thought it was odd that they dated the barrel 05/01. I've never seen a barrel dated before. I got the barrel from my shop but know body knows where it came from, we have a bunch of random crap laying around back there so Im not really suprised. The outside of the barrel looks a little beat up, but the inside looks like its never been shot. I cleaned it and all that I pulled out was dust.

    I don't know if it's just a thing for military barrels, but my M4A2 barrel is dated under the handguards, on the side, near the Front sight base.
