Hello, most of hammer forged barrels are made on GFM SKK-10 equipment (Blaser\Sako\Tikka\H&K etc.)
Looking on factory tour pics from FNM South Carolina I noticed old machine, which is not radial forging, correct to say it's rotary swaging.
Anybody knows what model is it ?

same one is used in UK based Armalon Co.

 
Give Peter Sarony at Armalon a call or email him. The tooling is all pretty damn old and well worn as it came from the defunct Parker Hale setup. Hes making barrels but quality is reportdely intermittant.
