Are FN barrels good quality? For those that have them how would you rate them? On par with Colt? Bushmaster? Any problems with accuracy?

How is the barrel marked?

Yes, a real, marked, FN barrel is on par with a Bushmaster. But, there are many barrels sold as "FN" that are not, and are not marked as such.

Modern M16 barrels are marked "FNMI MP 5.56 NATO 1/7". These barrels are hammer forged and are very high quality. This would be a perfect barrel for an A4gery-like build or any other light weight 20" build, for that matter.

Wish I'd grabbed one while Fulton Armory had some. FN M16 barrels are not normally sold to the public, they do seem to appear once in awhile, but some vendors claim an item is FN when it is not.
