Link is not working. Does anybody have any experience with this company? Never heard of them.

Apologies for the bad link. Not sure what happened in my first post.
High Standard has been around for quite a while but I don't have any experience with their AR parts. Reviews on Brownell's (which I didn't look at prior to posting) are mixed for the barrel, though two of the negatives seem to have come from the same person. Genuine Colt & FN A2 barrels seem to be pretty hard to find right now so there aren't many options available. |

According to the description the barrel has a chrome lined bore. It does not mention the chamber. Does this mean they chromed the bore only, and not the chamber, or did they really chrome the whole thing but didn't specify so?

I got one in yesterday. The parkerizing is pretty dry, so it's a dark grey color. It comes with the barrel nut and triangle end cap. It does not come with a sling swivel, or any of the front sight parts.
  Hard to see, but the barrel is marked HI-STANDARD with the eagle under the gas tube, just ahead of the chamber. Out past the front sight, it's marked G 5.56 NATO 1/7. |

If it were marked chrome chamber then only the chamber is chromed. |

If the chamber isn't chrome-lined, can it be chrome-lined by another business (??) without damaging the chrome-lining of the barrel?? Thanks. |

  It's marked B1, not sure what that means. I haven't measured it to see what height it is. Brownells says this:

Pardon my ignorance, but isn't the F-marked fsb intended for use with flat top uppers?

Looks like the FSB uses dowel pins rather than taper pins.

I dunno. I'm not going to knock one out to measure it. Taking pics is about where I draw the line.

Received one yesterday and put my upper together today. Chamber looks chromed and the base pins aren't tapers but NBD.
Good barrel for the $ and my only complaint is the excessive gap from FSB and handguard cap about .030 so the cap moves around even with handguards installed.
