[ARCHIVED THREAD] - SAW Colt 10" or 6933 11.5"

Posted: 9/26/2005 8:41:46 AM EDT

Which should I buy, the SAW 10" for $1695 or the 11.5" 6933 from JB/SPIWAK for $1,495. And by the way what is a SOCOM Barrel?

I went with the 11.5" 6933 from SPIWAK for $1,325.00each. Actually two.

The SOCOM barrel is heavier under the handguards than the gov profile M4.

Does JB Arms have any in stock anymore? It looked like he wasn't going to get anymore.

He told me he was still taking deposits as of two days ago.

Huh..According to his website, Sept 05 delivery, looks like he finally got the last of his order.

Howard is a great guy to do business with.

I second the opinion of Howard -- you can't go wrong doing business with him!

Well, SAW is a dick, an 11.5 is more effective, and in this case it's cheaper. Seems like a no-brainer to me.

And get a Noveske Krink Flash Hider when you get a short gun. Your ears will thank you.

It will be worth it.

I got in early and had to really wait.

...matter of fact...I'm still waiting on the Form 4s to come back.

I just got a couple of very nice e-mails from Tina at SAW yesterday on an order of stuff coming my way. Every Colt of mine goes to SAW for the reliability upgrade. I love these guys.

I have the 6933 over at the FFL's shop, waiting for the tax stamp. Howard is a great guy and I'm glad to have gotten it, but had I known that SAW had the carbine in a 10" configuration, I would have gotten it. I asked Tina about the history of their version and she replied:

We have actually had a special purpose carbine for many years now . . . . We did one for the SLC Olympic Games; Santa Monica Police Dept, Irving, TX PD and many others have been using these from us in various configurations since the late 90’s.

Oh yeah, the Krink really works. Had the opportunity to check it out at a course in southern VA a few months ago and I was impressed with its performance.

I got a feeling that I'll wind up with the 10" also........eventually.......or at least the upper.

same here

I spent a little time with it today as a matter of fact

Great little carbine

The barrel is marked: C MP CB -No twist #s.

Not sure if twist matters much for such a short barrel, and I suspect it is 1/9, although not sure why

Thanks to Howard (and locally Brian)

If it's the same barrel that SAW sells for the R0933, it is as follows:

BARREL & FRONT SIGHT ASSY R0933 1/7 LWT - 11.5in CHROME LINED

That may be your answer. . . .

Man that's an ugly AR.

I'm sending both of mine back for a refund.

Yep.

It is a lightweight barrel diameter (hence the LWT designation) - not the SOCOM

In fact, I am not sure of a SOCOM barrel as a 11.5 or 10" offering

A fellow Dealer/member - skich- offers 14.5" M4 SOCOM barrels for sale in the EE
