We don't build any rifle or complete uppers with other manufacturers barrels. If you can send me a picture of the roll mark, I'll be able to confirm whether or not it's ours. Should be two lines. The first line is the barrel info which starts with "DD" and the second line is a lot number.

Thanks for the reply @Marler5811. I didn't think you all ever used other manufacturers' barrels, but wanted to make sure. It is definitely a Colt SOCOM barrel (03/16 manufactured).

Everything else is DD (rail, upper receiver, BCG, etc).

I'm curious to see what the shop tells the seller. He is very upset, and feels bad about the whole thing. He still swears the upper was exactly how he picked it up from the gun shop (who supposedly ordered it direct from the factory).
It would make sense for them to swap it the barrel with a cheaper one, or a shot-out barrel from a rental gun. But the barrel appears to be in great shape, and Colt SOCOM barrels aren't cheap. I may not get an answer on this one, but the whole thing has me scratching my head.
