No caliber markings on AR barrel

[Wingshooter]

I just received a new mid length AR barrel from Alpha Shooting Sports (on sale for $99 BTW). Everything looks fine except there are no markings at all on the barrel. Is that normal for them? Paperwork says 5.56 just like I ordered but zilch on the bbl.

My lower is stamped "multi". Is that a problem for no caliber information to be marked anywhere on the gun? Edited November 14, 2012 by Batman

Not going to be a problem. Put any barrel you want on any lower. You can use a 5.56 marked lower to build a 9mm or any other combination.

Cool, thanks. Wanted to make sure I wasn't missing a requirement to have a caliber marked somewhere. First one I have bought like that with no markings. Also good to know about mixing Edited November 14, 2012 by Batman

Are there any other quality manufacturers out there that don't mark their barrels in some shape or fashion?

I was wondering that too. All of my others have been marked, but this is the cheapest bbl I have bought. Couldn't pass up the sale on election night, lol
