Anyone have any experience with the Remington M4 (SOCOM?) barrels? They about the same as Colt? Worse?
For the price, they might be worth it. Could they possibly be contract barrels from that one time Remington had the M4 contract? CDNN - Remington M4 Barrel |

Are these the CHF ones they advertise on the Remington Defense site? Just bought one of the 11.5 barrels for my pistol, still a great deal if it's not CHF.

I don't think I could bring myself to take a chance with Remington anything no matter the price.

I've got a 700, 7600, and SPS that are fine shooters. For a bill if it groups within spec it's a deal for that profile and CL. And no worries with mag dumps. View Quote |

Just ordered a14.5 from the Remington Defense web site it looks like all their M4 barrels are hammer forged.
The same barrel is going for a current bid of $150 on gun broker. I would think these are overruns from Remington military contracts due to the fact the have the flats. |

Looks like a good deal, cant find any info about remington ar barrels but it's only $100. I was about to buy 1 or 2 but they don't ship components to NY, FCDNN i guess...
Also they're running multiple auctions of the barrels on gunbroker that are bidded up over $150, so expect the prices to go up shortly after they've tested the waters on how much more people will pay. |

I got one for a training blaster. But then I started thinking I need a FSB training blaster and a shaved gas block, Mlok-railed training blaster. Dammit

I called one of their "experts." He said "the bore is chrome lined, but not the barrel."
Not CHF either. Hopefully/maybe he is mistaken. Those who ordered, please let us know. |

I bought two for that very reason. Barrels are consumables, and I'll feel a lot better about abusing these out in the desert than I would a Colt. View Quote Bought 3 barrels I didn't 'need' last month just because I could and the prices were better than right. |

They seem to either be watching this thread, or getting lots of calls, the description now reads in bold red letters "CHROME LINED".

What does Remington know about AR15s? Or for that matter quality in the era of Freedom Group. Are these really any different than DPMS, Bushmaster, or the Colt competition stuff they sold a few years back? I don't get the excitement, it sounds like these barrels are a 'pig in a poke'. Cheap crap is still crap, isn't it? Maybe if it didn't have Remington written on it.

$129.99 barrel. Idk, $99 is a third of a way to a Colt barrel that's a known quantity. The Remington barrels will probably work, but it's not really fair to compare them to something that's tried and true. I need a 14.5 to fix one of my clones, but I know the Remington mark would bother me more than the BFI 16" barrel that's currently on it. I'd almost be afraid to let a Remington barrel into my domicile for fear that the rest of my firearms would start to rust just from being in the same room with it.
Curious to see how these barrels work out for those that ordered them, but I'm sure they'll sell out before those reports come in. |

View Quote I'm pretty fond of the few Remingtons that I own, maybe I got lucky? I've got Colt SOCOM and govt profile bbls already so no need to drop another $250-300. If this shoots half as good or lasts half as long I'm golden. |

You guys pushed me over the edge last night and I ordered one. Glad I didn't wait given the price increase this afternoon!

Didn’t Remington have a contract for M4’s at one point or they at least attempted to take over the contract?
