Gunsmithing Ai AE barrel manufacturer

[ACK]

Greetings.
I just received my AE barrel from Mile High ($350) it is brand new, I guess, MH is exchanging the 308 barrels in new AE at customer's request (6.5) Does anyone know how to identify the barrel manufacturers? I believe the current supplier is Lothar Walther. I also heard Madco in Australia, Border Scotland, Cooper (AI)

More than likely that is a Lothar Walther ...

Does AI import barrels to North America or are the barrels for sale in the US generally US made?

Thanks Lowlight. The original barrel has identical markings except for the serial number and "03" in lieu of "13" Most likely year of manufacture. I got the rifle back in 2004.
