Are there any manufacturers that sell stripped barrels with dimples on them?

Or barrels with gas blocks already installed?

On aimsurplus I have seen 18inch faxon barrels with gas blocks pinned, they also have 16inch spike barrels with gas blocks pinned.

I am sure some barrels come pre-dimpled, I just dont know of any.

Rainier arms sells their barrels with a dimple, the select series anyway.

There are plenty of manufacturers that sell barrels with gas blocks pre pinned. Noveske and Ballistic Advantage are two that come to mind quickly.

I'd get the barrel of my choice regardless and send it to ADCO to get it done right if it weren't already dimpled.
I like pinned gas blocks myself.....just my preference.

I think Nefarious Arms sells dimpled barrels. Not for sure but he does do dimpling.

OP, you can get a barrel dimpling jig for cheap and use whichever barrel you want. Jig slips over barrel, is located/secured with a poly tipped screw in gas port. The you just get a drill and dimple in the holes on the bottom. Pretty fool proof. Just don't over do it and try to drill 1/2" dimples and you'll be fine.

Ballistics Advantage will pin a gas block or FSB on a barrel you buy from them and it's very reasonable.  They have a different barrel on sale every week as well.  If you get them to pin on a gas block or FSB, have them install the barrel nut.  If you do not, you will have to remove the gas block to install the barrel nut.

Nefarious Arms is the go to place for quality dimpling. Apart from Knights Armament, he is the only one allowed to dimple in a particular pattern. I believe he owns the patent of something like that. He did the front of one of my barrels a few years back. Ran around $75...
