Re: Barrels on AI AE's
AI uses several barrel makers who make barrels to their specs, including Border Barrels of Scotland. You won't know who made it. And, as long as it shoots well, why would you care?

Re: Barrels on AI AE's
Found it! In either case I also recall that both use a 5R type radius on the lands (need to find that thread too). Info wasnt from AINA but TacPro via third party.

I wish I new if the AW came with the border or Archer? I asked tacpro and all they new was that my barrel came from Scottland?
If anyone knows how to tell the difference between the two speak up!!

From what I read previously, Border barrels are single point cut rifled. Archer barrels are button rifled. I believe they are made by the same manufacturer and the Border barrels are a bit more expensive.
All AIAW have either a Border or Archer barrel.
All AIAEs have Lothar Walther barrels. </div></div>
