Noveske's barrels are made by FN and are excellent. That said, noveske specs a very very large gas port. My 14.5 middy chf from them would almost cycle xm193 without a can, on the suppressed swichblock setting! I like a gas port around 0.074-0.076 on a 14.5 middy, and 0.071-0.073 on a 16.1 middy. Noveske is on the order of 0.08+

I'm beginning to wonder about mine from daniel defense. I'm running a Sprinco green spring and 6.8oz buffer and it still runs wolf 55gr. May not lock back on empty every time, but runs it fine. With an h buffer and milspec spring in a carbine re, suppressed, it was out running troy cbr mags.

Noveske Barrel Longevity
When did FN start making their barrels? Are all of them made by FN?

Chf barrels are straight from FN. You can tell by looking at the bore if you know what to look for. Different reamer signature than DD. Ruger also makes chf barrels, and I'm not familiar with their bore peculiarities, but fn has mastered the art of chroming bores, and noveske advertises their chrome lining the same as known fn barrels are.

I don't know how FN ports them. Also, Noveske has a very sensible profile. Barrels are a very simple black art, lol!
Most manufacturers make barrels for civilian consumers. Find one who makes barrels for LE/MIL, and buy/source one of THOSE barrels. DD, for example, has 2 sides of the house, and 2 port sizes for some of their barrels. Civilian, and military.
