Just received via e-mail this morning so I thought I would post it here and pass it along:

That's REALLY cool how they stepped right up like that - impressive customer service.

That's why I've been a customer of theirs for over thirty years . The one I purchased last year was a 16" , Mid gas , barrel . Haven't gotten an email . Looks like all Carbine & Rifle gas systems , no ?

I've had to return a few things to brownies and it was always no questions asked no hassle. Rare for such a big retailer.

I bought a DoubleStar 11.5" from them last year.  Mine wasn't on the list neither.  Glad it wasn't

I bought the DoubleStar barrel through Brownell's last year when there was a mid-year sale.  I got it cheaper via Brownell's that I did J&T Distributing.  It's chrome-lined with the A1 front sight gas block installed and it 1-9" twist.  Have not installed it yet as I am waiting on my stamp to come in from ATF for the SBR build I bought the barrel for.  Should only have 1-2 months left to wait.

I did breathe a sigh of relief when I looked my order history up and cross-checked the item numbers.  I still have the box and all it came in but I really didn't want to hassle with shipping stuff back and forth.
