Don't recognize the barrel.

One would suspect one of two methods perhaps.

All integral; barrel, rib, sight..........large mill, rotary table, and know how by the maker. I see custom rifle barrels with these features starting at 2K plus for the machined barrel blank. Of course, to be integral on all notions, one has to start with a blank whose overall diameter allows for the projections; larger the blank, the more expensive the blank barrel to start with typically.

parts; turned barrel, rib, and ramp. Rib and ramp could be integral, but not necessarily. Soldered together after fitting to one another. Cutting the recess in the rib for the tapered barrel takes time and then usually always is some fine hand fitting with medium.

The ribbed barrel is expensive to make or at least, time consuming due to the effort to get a fine result.
