We had some imperfections at our barrel shop, so we decided to do what any good gun manufacturer would do - Cerakote it and call it unique.
This barrel is the 10.3" thick SOCOM profile (without M203 cuts), very much like the 11.5" FBI profile, but this barrel is 10.3," in the thick profile. This is new old stock, 2015 Colt manufactured. This is not a cut-down.
Factory Colt marked, "C MP 5.56 NATO 1:7" and date stamped. Standard Colt chrome-lined, to last almost forever, and that includes throwing it in the mud. Comes ready for a flash hider of your choosing, with standard 1/2-28 threading. This is a stripped barrel, virgin, no FSB, and not cross-drilled.
This barrel is a great upgrade for a Mk18 build, or for a custom short barreled rifle. Yes, it will fit under M4 handguards or a RAS rail. This is an ideal barrel for a Mk18 Mod1 build, to under your 9.5" rail, like the Daniel Defense RIS-II.
This barrel left the Colt factory as a 10.3" barrel. Our friends at Potomac Armory have installed and timed an M4 extension, and re-drilled the gas port to be the correct 0.070" port for the ultra-short gas system. But, somewhere along the way in finding the timing of the M4 extension and drilling the gas port there were some cosmetic imperfections. Some barrels had some blemishes in the phosphated steel, so we had them Cerakoted an off-black color to match the deep charcoal color of a phosphated barrel.
Professionally Cerakoted in charcoal black.
