One of my first uppers I got has a weird markings on the barrel. I was told its a generic wilson barrel. The barrel is 14.5" with correct M4 profile. The only markings on the barrel are "1/9 Chrome" in font similar to this.  Any idea what kind of barrel is this. Thanks Paul |

That's ER Shaw's engraving. Similar to what you see on Bravo Company barrels, but Paul uses different markings. On Model 1 barrels, there is usually an "M1S" just in front of the FSB. I have been using some J&T barrels recently that are engraved just like that, but the barrels I am using are lightweight carbine barrels, not M4 barrels. I'd bet $5 that it's a Shaw barrel. Hard to say WHO shaw made it for though. Shaw makes barrels for Model 1, Bravo Company, Colt and LOTS of other companies. |
