Saw this at Fulton Armory, just passing it along.
https://www.fulton-armory.com/barrelfa16m4gicontourcm1x9threadedchromelined-1-1-1-1-1-1.aspx They have this also, Colt Dissipator 16" barrel https://www.fulton-armory.com/barrelfa16m4gicontourcm1x9threadedchromelined-1-1-1.aspx |

Looking at the picture of the 20" A1, it appears they used the picture of a Gov't profile A2 barrel? Looks a little heavy up front.

You can get the pencil dissy barrel without a bayolug..... Perfect 605 barrel for $150.00 that doesn't need a shitload of work done to it.

Saw those last night. Was about to order a dissy barrel when I noticed they are not threaded at the muzzle.

What does "Plain Muzzle" mean? sounds to me like in addition to cutting it another inch, it will have to be threaded for a FH. Sounds like a job for Mr. Thomas. |

seen they had a stripped A1 slick side upper on sale there also M16, there's no such thing as an 'A1 slickside' I thought the 604 was otherwise an A1? Technically No, because the design predates the A1. The forward assist is what makes an A1 receiver an A1, even though the XM16E1 had a forward assist, it was basically an experimental that led to the A1 along with other improvements to the lower, etc, etc. |

I actually did buy one of the FN A2 barrels though, we'll see how those turn out. I really thought the dissy barrel was a good deal though especially for a 605 clone where people don't really want to cut down a 20" A1 barrel. Edit: It looks like the 20" A1 and FN A2 barrels are out of stock. |

Those dissy barrels are one sale today for $135, that was the sign I needed to get one, but they are sold out of the non-bayo lugs ones, but I'm sure John T. doen't charge much more for that if he's 605-ing it for you.

Wow, I knew all of those would go fast. Still lurking on Fulton and dithering....

Throwing around my options I decided to pull the trigger on this USGI Colt M16A1 16" barrel for my up coming 605 project. The price of $134.96 was righteous! Why so cheap is what I'm asking myself? Will have pic's and I'll see if I change around to my retro Colt FSB and front cap. Then to Mr. Thomas for cutting of final barrel length/threads and pinning of 3 prong flash hider. |

Any idea if those 16" cut-down barrels are 0.625" at the gas block? Figured I'd ask because of the concerns about the 20", but that price is really attractive.

View Quote My same thoughts before I ordered mine. It was either wait until Tuesday and call for verification and then possibly being sold out then. Or roll the dice and order now. I'm more than certain it's .625 and not .750 due to advertised as a Colt USGI M16A1 1-12 chrome lined barrel. |
|
Ordered the dissy barrel with lug; currently no option without lug. At that price it's still worth it to have the lug removed, barrel cut, threaded, and fh pinned. Otherwise I may have held on to a Colt 20" never actually having the nerve to have it chopped. And it would cost much more as well.
Apparently Fulton also had 20" A2 take offs for $100(?). sorry I missed that! |

I see these are now OOS (Out Of Stock). We'll see with in the next week or so if this was a good purchase for a 605 ort not. I bet it was......

Fulton Armory sent email today stating this new Colt M16A1 barrel shipped today and to arrive Monday. Full report once it arrives for 605 owners, and inquiring minds.

They say the Dissy barrels have the gas port opened up, but I would make damn sure it runs properly before pinning a FH. From what I've been told every 605 is a little different, and may need a slightly different port. Just something to consider.

I didn't do the work but was told that it was under gassed at first, it wouldn't even run reliably with a Standard Carbine buffer let alone a rifle buffer and spring. Right now it's sitting in a box in pieces and will be rebuilt and gone over again this summer now that I have the Early 604 project and IDF Carbine finished. |

My 20" FN barrel shipped today, we'll see how it looks when it arrives.
|

The Brown truck just delivered my USGI 16" M16A1 Colt Dissipator 1-12 twist barrel (will have pictures tonight). Barrel is 16" long, cut and chamfered. Came with barrel nut and extension. Chamber and barrel chrome. No markings on barrel that I could tell who manufacture was? Barrel has dry cosmoline and paper wrapping around most of barrel. FSB complete and is marked Colt with bell w/taper pins, bayonet lug. .625 diameter. Fulton-Armory said gas hole opened up. I'm sure it was since the front hand guard cap is on with gas hole at 90 degree's when FSB was re installed. Not sure of gas hole diameter? Will have John Thomas check it when I send it off to him.
Overall a great deal in my opinion at $134.95 plus shipping. Fulton-Armory said it's a Colt, but no marking on barrel to substantiate claim. But definitely M16A1 USGI replacement and correct diameter from start to finish. This will make a great 15" Model 605 barrel once my NDS 604 upper arrives this summer. |

Check the Bore, if it's chrome lined, it's most likely a C MP Chrome Bore barrel cut down to 16 inches like LL said.
