There are these markings at the end of my AR barrel:  S.S.  556.  Could anyone tell me what it means?  Thank you.

Thanks, but who build it.  Those are the only markings I found on the barrel.

There might be more writing underneath the handguard on the barrel between the gasport and upper receiver.
Edit* assuming the barrel is on an assembled rifle. Can you take the handguards off via the delta ring.
Or if its a freefloat rail, stick a flashlight in and find writing?
Im just taking a shot in the dark here
