Got mine in yesterday(223 varmint style) and it was a sporter barrel. Called CS and they said they have had that issue with the varmint style barrels in 223 and 221. Seems A-B sent a bunch of sporter style instead of varmint style. If you need one, call first for availability/CS told me they are out of varmint 223 and 221 and are on Back Order now for at least 2 weeks..Art
