HHollow Posted March 12, 2024 Report Share Posted March 12, 2024 AR10 barrel can not be new because it has British proof marks along with the Dutch proofs. And pitting underneath a nice coating of mag phosphate. The Dutch proofed the barrel by test firing and put various marks near the barrel extension. The Brit barrel proofs are nearer the muzzle and were done after the rifle was surplussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark2 Posted March 12, 2024 Report Share Posted March 12, 2024 (edited) The British Proofs would have been applied when Interarms moved the complete firearm through their British Warehouse for export. The proofs would also be “In the white” prior to barrel refinish. Edited March 12, 2024 by Mark2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tal35 Posted March 12, 2024 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2024 (edited) I find it hard to not have ANY marks on the barrel where the pins would have been or barrel ring marks on the area where the barrel ring goes. So what you are saying is that the factory could not have pressure tested the barrel before putting it together? He has owned the barrel 40+ years this way, I also find it hard to believe there would be NO barrel gas erosion at the gas port hole, NONE? I do believe it is new. I have also seen the light pitting on other new barrels before. Edited March 14, 2024 by tal35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HHollow Posted April 19, 2024 Report Share Posted April 19, 2024 Eating crow here. Apologies to tal35 fro questioning his judgement on the AR10 barrel. Apparently it is indeed NOS and likely was refinished after storage due to some surface rust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
