I just bought one of the ones from Redxarms, it had lots of "shelf" wear, and the engravings for the barrel caliber, twist rate, and the other markings look to have been done by hand or a worn out machine. I suspect these barrels were made in limited numbers. It does'nt bother me as I was going to have it Cerakoted or something similar.
I was told the 9/16 x 24 brake or flash hider should fit, but mine does not. They said its because of the finish, I will probably run a die over it, I've never had this problem before.

Do you guys know which barrel makers ideal for ordering single barrels from? Lilja seems open to new profiles and and short barrels - as long as you order 5 or 20 of them. Also is it typical to request short barrels to be sent straight to third parties like ADCO for a pin job?
BHW also looks interesting since you can specify twist rate, finish, fluting (not needed), bolt type, and have a good selection of lengths and profiles even from the standard selection.
