Quoted:
On which factory upper/complete rifle would I find a 14.5" socom barrel? None, colt doesnt make a civilian rifle with a 14.5" socom barrel. Military rifle would be the M4A1. |

It takes me about 5 minutes to change a barrel.

You can buy a complete factory Colt upper with a socom 14.5 barrel. I pick one up 2 years ago brand new in bag with cage code and NSN # on the sticker.
Date on barrel 08/10 you just have to look around to find them try gunbroker.com. |

I would just sell the whole upper if you want your rifle "factory complete". Buy a complete 14.5 inch upper from Specialized Armament.
This one already has a pinned FA. You can call them for the availability of the un pinned uppers. http://www.specializedarmament.com/products/02_Upper_Receiver_Group_Colt_M4A1_SE-952-283.html |

Or, buy this -> http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/ARR-6920 and have SA cut it down for you, although as they come these are some of the most accurate assemblies I've ever owned.

Buy the LE6920 Upper from a good dealer, not a traitorous POS company like CTD. |

I don't even think the hassle of cutting it down is worth it - just sell the barrel and get another.

Buy the LE6920 Upper from a good dealer, not a traitorous POS company like CTD. I don't get this, BUT, it's a very good upper FUCK CTD! Edited to add this explanation. During the most recent panics (YES Plural) CTD would cancel existing orders claiming the items were out of stock and them relist the same items for sale at DRASTICALLY increased prices. We're talking 200-300% increase in sales prices on items such as magazines. |

Buy the 6920 upper (try the EE and if not find a reputable dealer) sell the 16" barrel and buy the 14.5" socom from a reputable dealer. That will be the easiest and best option. |

Buy a complete Colt 6920 for $800 or so and sell the lower off for $500 on the EE. Get the upper for $300. |
