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?

Yeah, they also have a Rem M4 SOCOM 11.5 barrel for $99, which is also tempting

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.

Doubtful, but just a guess.

And unless marked as such (which they seem to not be) I'm not sure if one could know? Curious on GP sizing.

Will have to check once they arrived. Ended up ordering one of each.

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

Eh for $100 I took the chance. Worst case, I'm out $100. Best case, I saved myself $150-$175

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.

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.

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.

Thanks for the heads up on that barrel. Been wanting to do 10.5 or 11.5 with fsb and quad rail build. I'm also hoping its CHF as a bonus

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 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.

With you 100% on the 'consumables' thing...

Bought 3 barrels I didn't 'need' last month just because I could and the prices were better than right.

You never really know what you'll get from cdnn. I just got 2 of These barrels that clearly state, in bold, "NITRIDE". They sure look parkerized to me. Dull gray finish.

That has always been there.

So far, my order from Tuesday just says "Processed". I don't expect them to be very fast this time of year.

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.

It's CLd, and the profile is what I want.  So long as the FSB is pinned straight and it groups within the spec, I'm good.

And it's a $99 barrel.

Exactly! I couldn't find anything with those specs at $99 with all the sales going on during the Holidays.

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

They've had a couple contracts for the M4 that they've supplied. One large one to the Philippines, and they just were contracted for another order to international allies by the US Army. Plus whatever they had when they were initially bidding on the contract that FN won.
