What is this barrel from Copes Distributing?

Uxkid · July 26, 2008, 13:11

I got excited as Copes Distributing is advertising used L1A1 barrel is good condition for $150. I received it this AM and it sure doesn't look like any L1A1 barrel I've ever seen. No threaded muzzle and it has a lug about an inch or two long running on the underside of the barrel. TE is good at 1.0

Could this be a G1 barrel instead?

Those are clearly not L1A1 handguards, which leads me to suggest that Cope's think L1A1 and FAL are interchangeable terms.

The barrels look like Argentianean. Are their any markings on the barrel? Look on the barrel flats also just before the threads were the barrel would screw into the reciever. Argentianean ordnance marks would look like this P-, Most will also but not all have a serial number just behind the bayonet lug.

Handguards are Isreali.

Like others have said probably Argie. But they could also be Israeli standard barrels. Need to see markings to be sure.
