Barrel ID help?

[nitehawk]

Not sure this is the right forum (and if not, can someone point me to the right one?), but I'm hoping one of y'all can help me out? Been going through the bins and bins of stuff I have left over from "back in the day" (has it really been that long since I played?) and found this barrel.. for the life of me, I cannot figure out who made it, and it's one of my favorite designs in terms of how they solved the different bores. Instead of short insert, the whole barrel was the insert and the threads was the outer part.

Any ideas who made them?

Thanks

Looks like a Lucky barrel but I could be wrong.

Lucky

This is a great forum to help figure this out, there are people here who will know. I am curious of the brand because this seems like a great idea for a controlled bore.

It is a Lucky Un1tech https://imgur.com/a/uvJ4SV9/
From unknown Redditer: " Vanguard used this design too I believe. Can't remember if the lucky and vanguard's are interchangeable.

Edit: here is an old pbnation thread showing the gun and barrel

Edit2: I was right lucky left the us in 2007 and returned as vanguard in 08. In theory you could snag any vanguard barrel back and use it with your lucky unitechs. I know the vanguard had a .685 front too.

Edit3: Confirmed via heavy thread trolling that you can in fact use lucky unitech and vanguard barrels interchangeably. The longer threads are actually the oldest style. The shorter threads are from the end of lucky and were use in the vanguard. These have full control bore along thier length. Really nifty designs. Fun rabbit hole to dive into."

Lucky and Vanguard were at its core the same guy running the show but different investors.

Awesome! Thanks! I am pretty sure I have a vanguard creed around here somewhere that I probably thought they were a decent barrel, and then picked up a few Lucky ones...
Huh.. also looks like you can still get a version of them at https://www.warpedgear.com/un1tec-barrel-system in the UK..

I have way too much random stuff LOL
