Are there any markings or manufacturer logos on AR barrels to be able to know who made the barrel and if it's cut, button, etc ?
 
Re: Barrel manufacturer

they should be but not always, I have some custom barrels with nothing on them and some milspec barrel with codes like CMP 556
go figure those out.
 
Re: Barrel manufacturer

often barrels are marked... but blanks come marked at the chamber end, generally, and this sometimes get machined off...

if it's a factory gun from an average manufacturer, it's usually not hard to find out about the barrel, some customs or higher end factory guns are a little harder.

some prefit barrels are marked, some aren't
