I have 2 AR barrels that I no longer have an interest in keeping. Both were new when I got them and have been shot very little.
300 Blackout was built for pig hunting with a thermal scope. I killed 7 or 8 hogs with it, but it honestly didn't work as well as I wished on the 250 lb and up versions. It is a premium barrel, but the builder turned the profile and removed the markings. I don't remember who made it. The gun was scary accurate though. I have a bolt gun in BO, no need for this one. It is 20 inches long, .750 gas block, carbine length gas, and not threaded for a muzzle device. Ran flawlessly. $100 TYD
Second is a 6x45, or 6x223. I have a set of Lee dies and about 200 pieces of brass that I formed up for it. It's a 16 inch barrel, carbine gas, .750 gas block dia. and not threaded for muzzle device. I couldn't run 100 gr. bullets, 80 is the biggest it would fit in a mag. Barrel, dies and brass for $150 TYD
Barrels are not stainless steel.

any idea who made the 6x45 barrel or whose blank?

No sir. I bought it from a friend. He built it and never shot it. I found that the ar mags won't let you run bullets over 80 grains, and they were too light for my purposes. I wound up with a 30x42, or 30x6.8. I don't mind dealing with a wildcat, but it does have to meet my needs. This would be a great varmint round, not so suitable for the 300 pound varmints I hunt. It only has maybe 300 rounds down the pipe, shot slowly.
