Brownells 6.5 Grendel barrel vs. Midway AR Stoner barrel; are they the same barrel?

[ahillock]

Are these both the same barrels? I have done some research and I want to say yes. AR Stoner is just the Midway in house brand name, but it appears Satern sells the Liberty barrels in batches of 10 or more.

Brownells lists their barrel as "made for Brownells by Satern Barrels." Midway is more secretive, but it appears they are Liberty barrels made by Satern from what I have read.

Comparing them they look very similar description wise:

Both come with a bolt as well. Is there any reason to believe they aren't the same thing besides for the muzzle thread being different?

I believe they are the same.
