Got myself a couple of these overrun barrels from DSA. They are in the recent flyer for $175 with the gasblock included.
In general, they have the nice, deep black park that you'd expect from DSA. The barrels seem identical to the Badger barrels, with the exception that the brake is brazed to the barrel rather than being integrally machined into the barrel as in another 21" Badger from DSA installed on another rifle. There are no bipod nor sling swivel cut, so you will have to use an alternate front sling arrangement.
The barrels also had the gas adjuster springs already installed.
The only item I can suggest to look for is that unless you get the DSA handguards, or have a set of the steel StG guards, you will have to do a little trimming of the alignment tabs of your existing handguards.

Barrel installed on an Imbel kit with Type 03 receiver.
It's beefy, good finish, US part. Two thumbs up.
