Looks like these aren't available anymore?

Still in production. Made in periodic batches. As a result, the availability rises and falls.

What are the current markings and what were they before the LE/CR differences?

The only difference in markings is a CR serial number prefix instead if an LE prefix. It's still a role of the dice as to what markings you get on the upper receiver (C or CAGE Code or no C or CAGE Code).

So, can one swap out barrels or something to make a "regular" 6920 to a SOCOM?  I know, very basic question, but I do like the SOCOM over the 6920.

I was looking over the weekend and gunbroker has a couple dealers that have some in stock still. $1499 but fees add up there I believe.

I've actually seen more than a few for sale locally, pretty decent prices too, less than msrp ranging from $1100-1400. That's not bad for a socom but I only want the upper though.

The lower markings are what made the socoms special.  If that doesn’t matter to you, it’s basically just a barrel and safety swap, add the rail and buis and you are there.  

Better way to go would be to get a take off upper on the EE and sell the 6920 upper.

I’m curious about this recommendation.

How is the  Socom safety different?

Ambidextrous

Also a side mounted sling mount on the front sight

Also came with a H2 buffer

Nice gun

How easy/ cheap is it to find the ras rail?

The original ones (M4A1 only marked) used the KAC rail and then substituted it for a Troy rail.  The Socom II version used a DD rail.

The later US prop marked socom rifles used the KAC and I believe some had a P&S rail on them.

The 2017 version I think only got a KAC rail but I’m not positive if it shipped with anything else or not.

What you stated is correct. All 250 of the 2017 SOCOM's got KAC rail systems.

Heads up - these are now available again.  Atlantic Firearms, etc.
