I keep going back and forth. It seems like a good deal for an M4a1 clone on the cheap... hmmm.

The video looks good; it seems like your barrel is a hell of a lot better that the first video shown. Might have been a bad barrel |

In case I missed it being brought up- be sure to watch your credit card statement or bank account for the debit card you used for DTT... I had my card compromised after using it to order from them.

I'm ignorant and don't get it. What is so special about these barrels? Aren't barrels like this a dime a dozen and readily available at similar prices? Is it because people want a barrel made to the TDP or something? I'm not her to argue. I just really don't understand, especially because they apparently have issues.

Since when does the military use blued barrel nuts? Guessing the barrels were contract and they pieced them together with chineseium.

USGI barrels aren't a dime a dozen. Colt barrels are $300 or more when you can find them. FNs are even harder to come by. |

Socom profile barrels like this are not dime a dozen at this price point. If they shoot as well as Colt's for $130 less a barrel, that's pretty significant. The barrel nut bothers me, but I have a spare phosphated one, so it's not a deal breaker. If the majority of them are as good as what is being shown and they shoot as well as some of the range reports I've seen online, they are a killer deal. I just don't like DTT. Hell, I couldn't even get a transaction to go through. My card won't let me for security reasons, so they have issues. This thread needs to be in technical discussion. Why it got dumped in GD is beyond me. |

Also pretty close to my BCM and Remington barrel. I mounted mine on a Block II build, so the barrel nut went into trash. Probably added by DTT people anyways |

That may be why some owners were saying the FSB pins were easier to drive out... probably half assed reinstalling them after dropping on the barrel nut. |

Did anyone see the MMC barrel exmination with a considering amount of corrosion to the barrel? And damage?
