Mine has no marks like that. It has 380 on the top of the barrel and BG380 on the side. If it's MIM, then I'll have to live with it or sell it. That being said, I am not happy with a MIM barrel on a gun marked S&W. I have plenty of revolvers and most all have MIM parts, not the barrels. Even Taurus isn't using MIM barrels.
I know MIM has its cheerleaders. I am not one of them for the use on barrels or cylinders. MIM is purely a cost saving method for companies. What bothers me the most is I bough my son one of the guns when I bought mine.

I think you need not worry about an MIM barrel in Your BG380.
I bought mine about the same time and mine is not MIM! Mine has no seam and is stamped .380 AUTO on the barrel hood. It is a series, ECBxxxx.
