para barrel ID

**munchoman** · October 03, 2011, 08:47

I found a metric FAL para barrel 17.3/8 in. chrome bore, chrome long gas tube,bipod cut.
Has a T stamped on bottom of barrel 3/4 in. ahead of the barrel shoulder,which I assume to be Imbel.
What I have not seen before is that right barrel flat, is marked with what looks to be a and (UD).
Anyone come across a barrel flat marked like that before?

I have a NOS factory bipod cut Imbel Para, that has a "UD" stamped on one of the flats. It's chrome lined too. I'd foreclose on my house before I sold it.

Imbel barrel.Does the gastube have a step in the middle?or a different dia. before it screws into the gasblock and gastube nut?Picked up a couple when TDW offered them along with some other NOS Imbel parts.
