Ok, so no Colt then. I have a Noveske that I love but I was thinking about getting a Colt as well. Maybe a DD or If I'm lucky a BCM when they're available again. Thanks for the info folks!!
N.Franklin...LWRC makes DI guns? I have not seen any of those.
LWRC are cold hammer forged, plus they are Ferritic Nitrocarburized, for more info on Ferritic Nitrocarburizing please go here:

personally i believed these barrels are the best for any application, civie plinking or combat killing.
ok, thats kinda what i thought. I figured that somehow, since mabey they were blanks it wouldnt count.
I wonder how people manage to get a hold of FN barrels and uppers. Like you said earlier, its obviously stolen military stuff, the question is, how are they stealing this stuff? i would think the military would notice one of their guns completely missing an upper.
I guess mabey an armorer could say that an upper or barrel "needs replacing" and then "properly dispose" of the old unit.
At least SOME of Colt's barrels are cold hammer forged. Colt's subsidiary in Canada use CHF. For a while some of those barrels were shipped here to alleviate demand. Perhaps Colt could provide more insight here. I also discussed this with them at SHOT in 2006.
These are the ones I know of off the top of my head that offer hammer forged barrels. As stated already, Colt does not.
Centurion
Noveske
Daniel Defense
Spikes Tactical
