I recently obtained a A2 20 inch military replacement barrel.  The stocking label has 1005-01-146-7684  Part number is PN 9349124. Cage: 3S679. Looks like manufacture date of 04/06.


The barrel is marked 3S679 MP 5.56 NATO 1/7

Does anyone know which contractor may have made this barrel?

thanks in advance

I'm thinking that would be an FN barrel... those are kinda rare as I don't think they are sold to the "public." I have seen a couple of legit "police" spares that wind-up sold.

Somebody will be along to verify the CAGE code.

Only half right.. FN couldn't sell to the public.  The using agency; Army, Marines, whoever, is free to dispose of surplus stock any time they want to.

And that's how FN built M16 stuff ends up on the civie market.

You are correct, CAGE Cod 3S679 is FN.

Thanks guys for responses. Is it safe to say that this does have a chrome lined bore?
