Help me out here, its a 12 inch stainless steel with no markings on it whatsoever.

Yeah, my 3 year old camera phone doesn't take the best pictures :(

It's an old school SP Progressive barrel if i'm not mistaken. hard to find these days too.

Perhaps. I figured it looked a little SPish with the spiral porting and whatnot. My RT seems a bit picky about which barrel it will allow and out of the 4 that I have (12 inch DYE SS, 14 inch J&J 2 piece, a tiny *** Taso, and the one pictured in my OP) this one doesn't give me any fuss. I swear, that Taso will NOT go in my gun, and the J&J is a pain to remove.

It's a Smart Stainless. I have one just like it. Has a large bore size. Shoots really nice too. :)

I am almost positive it is NOT a progressive. I am certain is it a SP stainless All american. in that era they had this really odd looking run of high end stainless AA's, and I believe that to be one of them.

i concur, that is a SP Stainless All American, from back in the day when people actually used stainless barrels.. i wonder if that thing weighs and less than my 14" DYE SS
