I posted in GD not knowing this was a retro barrel. They are telling me Dutch. Its a 20" with a target crown that used to have an A1/A2 sight post on it. Its not a Port/Sudanese as far as I can tell. I saw a picture of a rare KLM AR10 that had a similar bare/target crown but they were all 16" I think. Not really sure what I have...anyone have anything they can add?

The general shape of the barrel extension matches what one would expect on a Transitional or Portuguese AR10.

Check the barrel extension diameter,  for Dutch AR10's its is 1.20"

The profile doesn't fit any that I've seen though.

The interior of the extension looks AR15-ish.  The exterior looks Dutch-ish.

If the exterior diameter is 1.1" then its AR15.  1.2" means Dutch

Or the barrel could be for a modern 308 rifle, such as the LR308 from DPMS. That would explain the front sight base.

It appears to be a Knights SR-25 barrel
