Who makes the AE mkiii barrel? On their website, it doesn't specify (or I didn't see it).
I was in a shop today, and the salesman said it was a 1 in 11" Bartlein...but the AI website says it is a 1 in 12" twist.
That would be great, but is it true? I forgot to look on the barrel when I was pawing it. I was too focused on the 2-stage trigger :eek:

This is for a stock 24" unthreaded AE mkii, btw.
 
If it's marked AINA 308 it's a Bartlein if it has the 7.62x51 proof on the right it's UK.

This is a Bartlein Proof

Thanks Frank...that's what I needed to know. I'll check it out.

If it is a Bartlein (AINA)...that would make it a 1 in 10"...right?
It was the statement that it was 1 in 11" that was throwing me off a bit.
