Sorry to post this if the information is readily available but here it goes. Does AI use Bartlien barrels as a standard or are they strictly aftermarket?

Thanks in advance.

I bought one already. Not that I care which barrel it has but i saw another members post about his AX and he mentioned it had a bartlien. Is there any way to tell?
 
Re: AI AX question (dumb)

The standard AX from the UK has a barrel by either Lowther Walther or Border Barrels, both to AI specifications. AINA, or USA AX's can also have Bartlein barrels threaded and chambered by Dave Tooley. A Bartlein barrel, also to AI specification, has to be special ordered with a premium price. It is necessary to talk to our distributors on this subject if you are LE or civilian.

Thanks Tom. I confirmed with Euro Optic that it does in fact have a Bartlein barrel. I love the gun by the way. Mother F'in beast!
