Who is FCI barrels?

Edit:  oh, Charles Burton.  He advertises some completed barrels here periodically and I've bought a few of them from him.  They're fantastic.

FCI Barrels is owned and operated by Charley Burton in Kentucky. Charley makes as good a barrel as anyone making barrels today. He is a great fellow to work with. I have ordered many barrels from him and have always been more than satisfied.  ;D

Ditto on all comments. I have a 48 inch .40 cal. FCI barrel for my rifle. Charlie was very good to work with. I can`t wait to get it going.  Nate

I have a 16 smooth bore, great barrel. The others I have handled appeared top notch.

Another big recommendation for Charlie's barrels, love them.  Have a pistol barrel in shipment now and a tapered rifle barrel that Charlie says should be ready in about 4 to 6 weeks.

I used 2 - 28 gauge x 48" octagon to round barrels from him. Excellent barrels IMHO.
