Shilen make good barrels. I have a Shilen DCM Match (Service Rifle) profile barrel I got from Midway in about 2011. My barrel is 20 long with a bare muzzle (no threading) and 1:9 twist. It is a good shooter and unless your going to use a suppressor you probably wont need an adjustable gas block. I think Id trust the measurement from the calipers on the gas port.
Shilen website list an 18 1:9 twist 6.5 Grendel barrel, could be what you have or a gun smith couldve used a Shilen barrel blank.
