HELP PLEASE? What barrel is this?

[308win]

I've posted this before, but did not get a response. Can anybody identify this barrel? Replaced my MOD 70 308win to a 7-08AI and this was supposed to be a Bartlein barrel, I have my doubts. Any ideas?

What are your gunsmith's initials?

This is all I could find. Probably not right though.

Do you have a zoomed-out picture? Where on the barrel is the marking?

No blank comes stamped like that, all the info is on the back of the shank. That's gotta be a gunsmiths mark. What makes you think it's not a Bartlein?

Not sure, I can't remember his name? Apache rifleworks in Comfort did the job

This is on the bottom of the chamber area, just ahead of the magazine

This stamp. I wasn't aware a Smith might put their initials into it?

I know my gunsmith does not. Is it your gunsmith's initials?

Not sure, that's why I'm putting it up here. I'm gonna call them on Tuesday and get the details, just thought somebody on here might have an idea?

Curtis, found this on their Facebook page, could possibly be a proof stamp to verify they actually did the work originally. The stamp is very similar to the one on their FB page.

 

[308win]

Maybe? Nice people, I like their shop down there. Just not sure I'll be having them do any more rifle work for me?

I saw you switched gears to a 25-06?

 

[Darryle]

Nope, adding that to the mix

Besides ARs, the bolt guns will be, 25-280 Ackley, 6.5-280 Ackley and the 280 Ackley.

I use a Norwegian crucifix....

Solved your riddle, he's the head Gunsmith for Apache Rifleworks, I would bet each gunsmith has a similar mark for the rifles they complete using the Apache logo as a basis.
