My guess is Remington had a bunch of extra 14.5's but they hadn't been finished, then got an order for the 11.5's, so they cut them to make them work and then finished them. Anyone's guess.

Quoted: I have both the non FSP and FSP 11.5 barrels and the markings are in the same spot on both. This is the non fsp https://i.imgur.com/WxeVYWxh.jpg View Quote |

Okay! I relent. I ordered the 11.5, too, along with a couple delta ring assemblies.

I ordered another 14.5" Socom and went ahead and ordered two of the Bushmaster 1:7 16" M4 barrels with chrome-lining for $99. Also a good deal.
You can put together some cheap uppers with these bad boys. |

I got the shipping notice for the 11.5 barrel that’s listed for $20 more. I’ll get some pics up when I get it Wednesday.

I just ordered some of the Bushmaster uppers. I’ll check back with a quality review. View Quote |

Quoted: The one I received recently was, as mentioned, Mueller Brass forge marked, and seems perfectly fine for the price. There is a divot, appears to be a forge blemish, on the deflector, but I don't care. Nothing I care about. I'm not building museum pieces. View Quote |

Would that be these that are t marked?

View Quote I have a second on the way for the 11.5 I ordered, so we'll see what round two brings! |

I ordered one 14.5” barrel and three Bushmaster uppers. I’m hoping they are Mueller uppers.

Quoted: I wonder if these are the uppers that are/were being used for the Colt counterfeits floating around. They are T marked, but not paint filled. Does yours have the M4 marking on the front? View Quote |

All of the Mueller ones I have had were good uppers. So I’m hoping for the best, but honestly for $48 complete uppers I’m likely to be happy. Anderson uppers are like $35 stripped...

No worries! Been there, done that and may even do it again! It's only fresh in my mind because I just researched it after that upper arrived with a mark I'd never encountered before. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

There are no markings over the gas tube hole. The only other marks on it are on the back of the rear lug, an M with a line over it, bracketed by dots. |

My order for 3 bushmaster uppers came in today. I’m very pleased. All three are Muller forge t numbered. (No paint) excellent deal imho for $48.95

The forging has almost nothing to do with whether your upper is going to be in spec anyways.

Just installed my barrel on an Aero upper, strangely enough it matched up exactly at 30 ft. lbs.

Finally got out to shoot the 14.5 and 11.5 barrels.
11.5 (Non FSP) - Definitely over gassed. 11.5 (FSP) - Shot well, gas was fine. May need a little bit of tuning. 14.5 (FSP) - Was pleasantly surprised with this. Accurate, took minimal adjustment to zero. Gas was fine with the A5H2. Pretty much shot just like my Colt socom barrels. |

View Quote I’ve received my 11.5” barrel with the marks on the portion of the barrel that’ll be under the handguards. It’s really nice. Haven’t had a chance to take decent pics, but I’ll get some as well as measurements of the gas port. F marked B 2 front sight post. I’m working on another M4 clone and then will he building something around the 11.5 barrel. |

Barrel and uppers arrived. I’m very happy with the uppers and the barrel so far. I’m ordering a RISII for this so hopefully it’ll be legit.

Has anyone jumped on the Bushmaster barrels they're selling? If so, what is the consensus?
