I read a post about verifying a Bushmaster barrel. The markings described match exactly the markings on my barrel. Here is the article on verifying a Bushmaster barrel. Scroll down near the bottom of the page.
How can I check to see if the upper and barrel on my Colt H-Bar is a Colt upper and barrel?

The links above are likely to hold the answer, but the simple method is

"what are the markings on the top of the barrel forward the FSB?"

Colt markings include a "C" (usually begin with the "C")

as for the upper, that is a bit more difficult since Colt uppers are knownn to have many different forge marks.........but "what marks does yours have?"

Thanks for the links. It is a Colt barrel. It is marked C MP 5.56 NATO 1/9 HBAR
The upper has a C and what looks like a combination of the letters A&F above the forward assist.
Thanks for all the help. After reading that article on Bushmaster barrels I was curious.
