NBS barrels?

Does anyone have experience with the ‘NBS’ branded barrels sold by AR15discounts dot com? They appear to be an in-house brand sourced from various manufacturers but there isn’t much else in the way of information on them.
 
I have a stainless one, I'm certain it and most others are BCA manufactured. Mine shoots pretty good and should be MOAish or better with a magnified optic. Tula steel cases would jam in or stick to the chamber (FTE).

Thank you for the input. I picked one up for 120 bucks. Figured at that price it was worth checking out and if it doesn’t perform better than I can shoot, then it’s backed by a guarantee and I can return and go with something higher end
 
I just remembered, the barrel extension feed ramps were somewhat sharp and would scar bullets. I had to soften the edges with a fine file to prevent this. I didn't do any substantive before/after testing, but it definitely grouped better afterwards with fewer fliers.
