Looking for some info on a 12 inch monster barrel. Actually it is a 12.125 or a 12 1/8 length barrel curios as to manufacture. Green mountain? And was also wondering when the monster bolts would be available again? Oldbev

Early ones were Faxon, current ones are Green Mountain.
Bolts due end of month, but I'm gonna email my rep tomorrow for an update. Things are crazy so you never know what's really happening with a production schedule.

The newer Monster barrels have sort of a date code. The Green Mountain barrel might be marked MK 136 462020 (2020 year). There were other Faxon barrels which might have the Monster logo but not otherwise marked with a date. I have a 18 Monster barrel manufactured in 2017 and I think there were Faxon barrels sold in 2018.

The Faxon barrels had the roll mark on the thick chamber section of the barrel, not on the barrel between the thick chamber section and the gas block journal.
