    Question Hammer Forged Barrels

    Who besides Noveske, DD and BCM offer Hammer Forged Barrels on their DI guns and/or uppers. From the info I have found, which is minimal, I can't determine if the Colt 6920 is or not. This is the one I'm most interested in (thinking about getting one). Any info would be great. Thanks!!

    Colt doesn't use hammer forged barrels AFAIK.
    Diemaco (now Colt Canada) does but I dont think they're available for civilian market.

    FN, but they don't sell ARs to the civilian market.

    Sorry for the derailment... but why does their stuff crop up on TOS's EE every once in a while since it's not available to civies? Where are people finding it?

    I see the HFB advertised often. What is their advantage since these are not usually precision weapons?

    Don't know about the EE on TOS nor why certain things are sold there.

    FN does make hammer forged barrels. I'd speculate that what you're likely seeing is stolen property......just sayin'.
